Love List
I love making Love List for my wips. It helps you remember all of the things you love about your wip so you can go back to it on days when you feel like it's the worst thing in the world. I made one for my YA Contemporary Things Left Unsaid, and even though it's trunked for the time being, those are the things that still make me want to rewrite it (someday).
YA author Stephanie Perkins came out with this amazing concept. It truly did help get me through TLU. I was ready to trunk it at 33K until I found that post. Hopefully, if I ever lose steam on Unfair, I'll be able to look back on it's Love List and remember why I fell in love with it in the first place.
Here are some of the things I love about my wip:

If you want to check out other Love List, here's Katy Upperman's and Alison Miller's. Also, I'd love to see yours (if you make one), so link them in the comments.

Raven, your Love List is fantastic! Totally makes me want to read your story. Doesn't hurt that Snow White is one of my favorite fairytales. :-)
