I spent my working day inside git, VSCode, and GitHub. Lately, I’ve been working on a big restructuring project, and it has me thinking about my memoir manuscript.
I find myself thinking of creating a GitHub repo for my manuscript, which has me thinking about its structure. Currently, it is structured like a symphony:
- Warmup
- 1st Movement
- 2nd Movement
- 3rd Movement
- Interlude
- 4th Movement
- 5th/Final Movement
It was written a few years ago now, and much has changed in that time. The symphony-like structure may still hold, and I find myself thinking leveraging GitHub might be easier, in some sense, for structuring. It’s very useful for version control, which would be greatly beneficial for editing. Editing and moving parts around. I would be able to create branches to really mess around with things.
This is starting to sound like a weekend project to setup. Especially with a memoir writing class coming up.
