Do tell. I'm useless. I know how to open my word file, use MSN and get on the internet, that's about it!! :) Oh and I took your quizz. Just as I suspected. Organizationally Challenged. Is there a self-help group I should be joining? You can color code files on a Mac? Do tell.

I'm fairly organized (because piles of "stuff" drives me nuts). However since jumping into this wonderful world of writing, the paper shuffle has proved to be a little intimidating.
