Outlining
I need to find a tool to outline my story. I want the flexibility of paper (different colors for different plot elements, easy to move them around) without actually having to keep track of paper.
I am looking at StoryRight. It seems flexible and easy to use, and it is free. But because it is an online tool and my outline would be hosted on their server, it worries me a little. I like that I could access my outline anywhere, even though I don’t have my laptop with me. But even with a very user-focused TOS, I worry that my outline would be less my own. I mean, I’m not posting it here, on Facebook, or Twitter. Why would I want to post it on a different site?
Another tool that sounds good is Writer’s Blocks. It stores your work on your own hard drive, so it eases that worry. Of course, the price tag is a little steeper than free, which is a drawback.
I’m also about to order a Circa notebook–I’m waiting for a gift certificate that my friends at my day job bought me for my birthday. I think the PDA-size cards would be good. They come in different colors, I can reorder them easily in the notebook, and the notebook will fit in my purse.
What do you use?
