I write in a fairly haphazard fashion*, and I use a great big unorganized document to store all the pieces that don't have a place to fit yet, or that were removed because they didn't quite fit but still have something decent in them. A lot of writers have something similar, if not the same, and I've gotten kind of intrigued with what they call them.

Mine is the hangar queen ("projectXX-hangar-queen", usually). I've heard 'cutting room floor' and 'boneyard'. Dad just told me Arthur Conan Doyle called it the 'Lumber room.'

Anyone have any good ones?


*Have you ever watched a hard-drive defrag? Pretty much like that.
