source materials -
books

any needed Author

them to Source
/Author cards. |

Begin outlining the
paper using the
Project feature. Add
headings and see
where your notes will
fit. As you discover
gaps in the paper, do

TO WRITE FICTION |
Keep note cards on all
your characters - traits,
speech patterns, etc..
on ‘settings’-
descriptions of places,
environments. Add
information on these
at different places in
your story to have the
information unfold as
the reader reads your
work. |
|
Now as you write your
story, you can quickly
bring up any of this
information as a
reference, You can
check for consistency
without interrupting
your train of thought. |
|
Be more productive.
Focus on the story and
your writing, and let
