I have just started using the Add-In in earnest and I cannot envisage ever needing a manual system. The idea of finding where any particular index card or sticky note fits into the working document would give me nightmares. All the data is hidden from view in the document's internal storage space.
It does lots of other clever things that would otherwise seriously slow down my train of thought.
THOUGHT TRAIN 2 UPDATE
These sections are nested on the popup form so one can instantly see where you are in the plot read and update the background notes on the arc list who is mentioned in each scene and quickly navigate to all the places they appear (in colour). After doing some research on plotting etc, I couldn't find anything suitable for me so I decided to build a Word Add-In (in VBA) to provide background notes on the key structural sections such as chapters, zones and scenes. I started writing various bits of fiction and non-fiction a while ago and really struggled to stick to some kind of planned structure. (2) a resource that can help me within chapters create fluid transitions between explanations and arguments on different subtopics. (1) A resource that can help me learn to take many ideas (ie sequences of paragraphs) and organize them in a clear way so that the work as a whole feels organized I'll still have sentences that flow and structure within paragraphs, but overall between paragraphs becomes a mess Just simply writing without thinking usually creates mess.
THOUGHT TRAIN 2 HOW TO
(2) I rely on logic to give my ideas organization and, if there aren't definite logical relations between ideas, I don't know how to structure my writing. I never know where to draw the line between what I have to teach and what I should assume the reader knows. (1) I have trouble limiting what I am talking about. I lose the confidence and creativity that I have when I work with smaller quantities of writing. Now my organization starts to deteriorate. Let's say I have 15 to 20 pages single-spaced worth and they are on related but separate topics. If I can express my idea in a short paragraph or string of paragraphs (say 3000-4000 words), my writing is fine.īut suppose I have many ideas to express. I will first describe my problem and then describe what kind of solution I'm looking for. I am struggling to organize small to medium size chunks of writing into coherent trains of thought.
