God Don’t Make No Trash began with an explosion of inspiration. I wrote 60,000 words in five days. I’d wanted to write about these subjects for a long time. Once I started, I couldn’t stop. Check out these project explainers below.

*A spreadsheet with multiple tabs helped me keep track of each 300-word story. The official project was made from 120 such stories. I wrote the project’s foundation of 60,000 words in five days.* GDMNT | G.W. Schulz

*I carefully labeled each story in a single Google doc. The labels correspond to my spreadsheet of all 120 stories.* GDMNT | G.W. Schulz

*I relied on a system developed during my years as a reporter to organize folders and files. The goal was fast retrieval.* GDMNT | G.W. Schulz

*Each rolling narrative got its own folder for images and text.* GDMNT | G.W. Schulz

*I used the Adobe suite for images and graphics.* GDMNT | G.W. Schulz
