If I'm crafting my own tale I find taking notes helpful, you may want to consider using something like a wiki and having your players take notes for you as well, it'll mean some duplication but you get “their side of the story too.”

To improve as a Storyteller I could work out taking notes for continuity. My particular setting actually includes the lack of continuity as an element of the game, but I could still work on improving consistency in the setting for consistency's sake. ;P This is the “Only” reason I've ever considered running a game from a book. The setting's already there, and typically, things are still the same (Unless there's a story reason for it not to be. :P ) when the characters return.

You mentioned attempting to play your NPCs with more life? Care to share any details on how you did this?
