And the initial brainstorming, rough thinking part of the process.For me, the main value is in not losing ideas.Moving things around is hard on paper, and not that easy on digital equivalents. And this means that reformulation is difficult without just starting again. Even if I were writing a piece longhand, it wouldn't - the detailed planning would be done in my head with just enough scrawled down to trigger my memory. The big weakness with me is that it doesn't integrate easily into detailed planning. There are many digital options I liked Notability on iOS and Squid on Android. **And** it is always easy to digitise with phone cameras. *And* is processed neurally differently to computer based systems or typewriters. And has produced more great works than everything else combined. This is backed up by its flexibility in being abe to be used in all ways for all stages.
The huge advantage the pen and paper (including digital equivalents) option is that it is the most accessible by far. So, I will simply give my personal perspective of each option up to the point where I stopped looking at it. But I hit a wall of reluctance once I realised that this would mean spending time describing and recording options that I had already dismissed in my own mind. My original idea was to categorise the essential tasks and then to prepare a detailed comparison table of the important differences between all the options that came to mind. That also worked easily and well, but would have been more cumbersome to shift entries around. I tried a digital pen and paper with screenshot. When away from the computer I needed to do something different.
The tasks themselves - or Stages of Creation, Organisation or Reorganisation.ģ. Important issues and features to considerģ. I decided to try the Pinboard, not having used it previously. I felt a free-form corkboard would work - eg Scrivener's Corkboard, Writer's Cafe's Pinboard, or panes in Notezilla. But the chosen approach needed to aid developing the sequence.
I tried outlining in Obsidian, but found it unconvincing - outlines are designed to be sequential and this wasn't.

Most of the full writing packages such as Scrivener would have worked too - but none had advantages over Obsidian.Ģ. To record progress, I made use of the Daily Notes feature for the first time. Produces a contained space for all the work and research. So I set up a new folder and made it a new vault nested inside the Scriptorium. I needed to decide a program for writing and storing the necessary research. I can learn and try out some of the programs in order to design, structure and write the review. And if I'm going to do it, I might as well write it down for future reference, in which case I might as well put it up as a mini-review.Ĩ. So possibly a wider set of comparisons, so I know where best to turn in future when I need to address something structural.ĥ. And there are other approaches I could take, and other programs. Although StoryBoard and Storylines look identical, the instructions suggest quite a lot of difference under the hood, so comparison needed.Ĥ. Definitely looks a bit like a spreadsheet with cards.ģ.
#Jutoh images update#
I was mulling on a spreadsheet with cards instead of cells, wondered about the Storylines feature in Writer's Cafe, checked Anthemion's website, found there was a new version of Jutoh which included a similar looking StoryBoard feature, as well as an update to Writer's Cafe. Which led to me thinking about how best to do it, which brought me on to 2.Ģ. It isn't exactly stuck, but does feel as if it would benefit from rethinking the structure. This mini-review was triggered by two circumstances:ġ.
