Better Than A Shoebox: Outliners and Information Managers

Where do the unpredictable ideas that flow from your brain go? Into sticky notes? File boxes? Stacks of note paper? Maybe into the void, lost forever?

There are many software programs that can gather and organize this disjointed clatter of ideas and information. In my own experience, I’ve found that casting ideas into outlines, sometimes over a period of many months, can lead to easily written articles or stories. I have one outline that’s been growing for over a decade! I smell a decent book in that one.

This section identifies software programs that will help. Screenshots will illustrate just how powerful these programs are in the hands of a busy writer.
