Ugh, mice are the worst! Well, maybe rats, but mice are a close second. When we have mice in the house, I obsess over their habits and possible entrance points until we eradicate them.

And I love your organization system for story ideas! My notes for writing are in 10 different notebooks, in no particular order, crammed in drawers.

Oh, mice! I was a nervous wreck until they were caught. I still find myself looking for little black bits in the spots we saw them!

I’m chuckling here, that you’re calling my messy box an “organization system”! I too have story fragments in notebooks…but my scads of Word files with bits and bobs of stories feels even messier!

I'm never not looking for mouse turds-- rodents live rent-free in the luxury anxiety condo in my brain. There should be a support group for people who love nature & all but turn into driven mouse-killers when the walls of their houses are breached.

I don't want to think about my digital mess...

This is hilarious—“luxury anxiety condo in my brain”—and do I ever agree about the support group for take-no-prisoners mouse-killers!
