It's funny how what works on paper isn't always what works for us on a computer, and vice-versa! Thanks, Birgit, for letting us know about organizational software for the PC.

Since I just finished my second non-fiction book and started working on my third as well as on my first fiction book, I very much appreciate your tips and tricks. For those of you who are working on a PC I recommend the use of OneNote and/or EverNote for webclips, photos and text snippets. Both programs have a tremendous search function and also let you organise your writing in Notebooks (in OneNote even with tabs and pages!). Funny, as much as I like tabs in software notebooks I never get used to them in real life. For me I found that the chronological approach works better. For cross-reference I number the pages.

I want to see! Post a picture on Friday! Now that you mentioned it first, I'm not too embarrassed to say - I found a BAG that matches my pretty notebook! LOL! Kind of a laptop/documents bag similar to a messenger bag. So I bought it and then went to every single office supply store I drove by (and some that I went out of my way to!) to find more of the matching notebooks! I think I now have the bag and six or seven matching notebooks - but they make me want to write! LOL! I'm glad I'm not the only one! I'll try to remember to post a picture if my stuff ever gets out of Sydney Harbour! :) RFW friends, let us know if you want to join an Office Supplies Support Group. We may have to start one here!

(I've got a different set for each book idea.) I love office supplies, too. I'm sure there is a club somewhere we could join.
