Congrats on finishing that short! And good luck with the others. Thanks - I need to find time to get back at it soon.
Yeah, it kind of intimidated me at first, too, but I have a lot of fun with it. If nothing else, it's great to store any notes you make on your wips or future wips so you don't forget those lovely little details.
I'm the same way though, so you're not alone in this. I put the pants on the pantser, I swear. It's like OOOOH... SONG LYRICS! And away we go, no point, no plot, no end in sight. It's a fun ride though, eh? The trouble is, if you have no idea where you're headed, it's hard to get there sometimes.
Yes, that too! I had one story I started and put down... only to come back to it three years later. I did finally finish it, but man, I was lost. But definitely - this would be a great use of One Note. Open ON, create a new notebook, name it, create a chapter for characters, places, whatever, and add pages as you go along. It's really easy to use and helpful for us scatterbrained individuals. LOL
Definitely, the research has got to interest me or I wind up going way off point. Was looking for something one day and wound up discovering how to distill mescaline (a hallucinogenic drug) from a cactus... I did work it into the story, but still. Not what I mean to look for. Hey, being vague can work too, doesn't bog the reader down with details or set you up to be picked apart if you get something wrong, right?
You are so welcome and I agree. I love to talk about this thing we do and most people I know barely read, let alone write. Know what I mean?
