I just got a new laptop for school, and I'm happy to say that it came with Microsoft Office.
I've started playing around with One Note, an app I'd had on my iPod but had never been able to use. Until now...
So these are some of the cool things you can do with it:
I can make a notebook called Book 1, and underneath it I can have a whole bunch of sections. I might call one Plot. In that section I can have a whole bunch of pages like Act 1 and Act 2 and so on and so forth. In each of those I can write whatever; a summary at the top, then a box for one character and a box for another character and list of where they go, who they meet, what significance they have, etc.
I can put images in it that inspire me, or ones that I've drawn myself that map out the world, capture a plot point, or maybe it's a character sketch for an in-depth analysis of Gro Grum Skullsmasher which I put in the section called Characters, along with the other major cast members.
I've literally *just* started with it, but for someone who's been looking for an organization medium that suits him for a while, I think I'll be making some more progress. So booyah!
What about you? How do you like One Note? Any cool and useful features you've discovered? I haven't tried Scrivener which seems fairly popular, so if you've had experience with them both, what are some pros and cons?
