You Know You're a Disorganized Writer When . . .

you search frantically through four or five half-filled notebooks, to find the one with a specific passage. I'm beginning to think I dreamed about writing this one. Luckily, it's just in the beginning stages, so most of the stuff is still fresh in mind.

You'd think writers would be smart and stick to just one notebook for every idea. But, no, that would be way too sensible and easy. *headdesk*

Here, have some Epica!

I haven't, though the name sounds familiar. I may try it sometime, though I always end up gravitating towards paper notebooks, being easier on the eyes and all. Is it basically like Microsoft Word, only in a cloud format?

It makes Word look like a kid's toy, haha. It's rather hard to explain, but you can chapters or different volumes into separate areas, but still in the same document, and when you're done you can print them as one complete novel. You can add notes, tags of all kinds, easily go into screenwriting mode, use clever research pages, and much more, all in one convenient place so you can search the entire thing and jump from one section to another.

I think there are better descriptions there :)

Ohmygoodnesswow.

That was pretty much my reaction too, haha. I still haven't used it properly because I keep getting overwhelmed by the sheer awesomeness of it all!

Good luck, I hope you enjoy it and it works well for you! :)
