Ability to organize writing projects
I like using Dabble for more than just story writing, but also as a place to STORE my future ideas. But the front page with my projects is always so messy and I feel the need to constantly delete and condense projects. Maybe a way to prioritize/sort the projects would be helpful. Also, an ability to make folders for projects like "Completed" "Ideas" "Current Projects" etc.

I have multiple types of books that I'm working on and I would love to have the option of setting up a category or genre folder that I can place the books into to make it easier to locate each one as I sit down to write. As an example I am writing a fantasy novel and book on real world nutrition. Clearly these are very different types of books and I would love to separate them out into their own sections on the home screen. -

ScottI agree, this is a must! I am very excited to finally have a REAL writing app for my phone. And, as a writer, I'm constantly coming up with new ideas that I intend to work on at a later date. But as I am finding out, my Home/Projects screen is filling up with my ideas and prior works, An elegant (as Dabble is) folder structure would be perfect to organize my past and future works. Thank you for your consideration!

AshleyI would love if we could even Add folders for ideas and past work but also a series section or ability to create your own folder sections.
For instance 4 of my projects go to the same series but the other 6 I have go else where I would love to keep it more organized. -

ShannonThis is a must. As a children's author (and adult author) of series, I often have multiple projects going, and the entire entry screen is just TOO cluttered! Need a way to organize the projects by type/category/anything!

MantaI went looking for this and I'm so depressed it only has 14 upvotes. I write a lot of short stories and my dabble front page is a MESS. I've had to go in and add (COMPLETED) to the subtitle of all my finished works so I know I don't have to open it. Otherwise I'm sitting on 30? or so files with no real way to organize them into completed, current WIPs, published WIPs, etc.
I really hope they consider looking at this one, I write so much with dabble that it's starting to become unruly! -

MeganYes please. I write short stories - many of them - and the homepage is an absolute disaster. I've taken to subtitling things if they've been published.

Lisa Cline MergedI would love folders on the main screen to divide my books into. To find them easier. I am constantly working on many books and if I could have a non-fiction folder, a fiction folder, etc that would be helpful.

Ashly Phillips MergedCan we get a feature that would allow us to organize our documents into folders and other things so that we can tidy up our main page? Mine, I know, is getting a bit cluttered, and it's hard to find things sometimes.
