I'd love to read when it's available or in preview mode! The mental organization I think that develops when writing on a notebook is far worth the trouble of typing it on vim later, especially for fleshing out scenes and redrafting.
- txutxu 2y agoNot sure if call it mental or physical organization, but there is more crossing out of words and whole sentences, words that I try to fit into small spaces, or arrows to/from outlined areas below with more space. Like: +--------------+ | abcd abcd a | | bcd abcd.--\ | | | | | efgh ijkl | | | ijkl m nnn | | | | | | +-------+ | | abc a | | | abcd | +------+-------+ A technique that I don't know what to call, is the horizontal brace. Like the ASCII 123, but horizontally, to insert something between two words, above or below the line. A handicap of the notebook, is that you can't find historical data/names/dates so easy, or synonyms... but as I iterate a few times over the text after the first draft, those gaps can be fixed latter while typing the text.
