DAMMIT, DREAMWIDTH. I tried to click on "Reply", but in doing so, I moused over your icon and the popup interface... popped up. And then the "Remove Access" link was right over the "reply" link, which is where I was already clicking.
This is why I don't like mouseover popup interfaces in the middle of screens.
...
Anyway! I think my approach is really well-suited to the ways in which my particular brain works: I'm strong on disconnected flashes of inspiration and weak on sitting down, focusing, and seeing a long slog of linear prose through. So this approach lets me compensate for the fact that I don't do long linear writing well by breaking it up so that, in between all the little bits and bobs, the linear bridging bits I eventually have to sit down and write aren't ever unworkably long.
I imagine that for someone who doesn't get most of their ideas in tiny snippet form, working like this would be a nightmare.
I do use Scrivener! And I don't use the snapshot feature that often, really; I rarely ever want to go back to an earlier version of something. (If I cut big snatches of text out, I usually paste them into a new document in a "cutting room floor" folder, so I'm not losing text to the void.) But that is one way of tracking changes, yeah.
