I haven’t tried The Literary Machine, but I’ve used this one. It takes some getting used to, especially because there are so many windows and options that it’s easy to forget where you saved something the last time you were there. If you’re working on a complicated project or have lots of lose notes, this can be a lifesaver. I still prefer paper, but sometimes a program like this one can be great.
Downloaded — and going to try this out — will post a review in a few weeks.
I’m a paper type myself Diana, so this is one I probably won’t use. Thanks for the feedback though. I’m sure it’s a great resource for others. :)
No problem. Since we have that in common, I wonder if you can ever do a post on handling paperwork? Maybe share some Excel forms you use, sample pages and things like that? Or points to a good resource where we can find that type of thing? I’ve changed systems a few times, which probably means I still haven’t found the perfect one for me, so if you have any suggestions or run across something useful, I’d appreciate the heads up :)
