Question for Writers

[rolanni]

...especially those who are living in small spaces.

Where do you keep all the paper and other records attached to the business of writing? Here at the Confusion Factory, we have four five-drawer file cabinets, plus overflow in file boxes in the basement. Granted, we're running two businesses out of the house -- SRM Publisher, and the Lee-Miller Authoring Empire -- but it comes to me that we are perhaps ...overzealous... in the matter of keeping papers.

I fill plastic sweater boxes with original MS and copyedits and store under the beds. One of these days I'll probably donate some of the effluvia to a charity auction.

Recipts, files etc over 10 years old get shredded. Technically I can do it after 7 years but I'm paranoid.

I'm not far off from renting mini storage for extra file cabinets and MS boxes.
