After years of searching, I've finally found the perfect way to organize my writing career - all 24 individual projects of it.
Since I quit doing web design three years ago, I struggled to organize my writing projects. Between fiction, non-fiction, articles, newsletters, ebooks, classes, and all the unique projects in between, my office was a mess. I tried folders, binders, index card cases, magazine holders, and letter sorters. No system lasted long. Organizing electronic files with Word and NotePad was a nightmare. Every day I produced a new mountain of sticky notes and index cards with no way of keeping track of what was what. God forbid I submitted something I had to follow up on. It wasn't going to happen!
I downloaded the demo version of Life Journal for Writers after reading a review for it. I was skeptical - most of the new software and web applications I try are clunky, slow, and generally more hassle than they're worth. This software quickly proved it was different. It didn't take me long to fill my demo version of Life Journal for Writers and purchase the full version. I quickly customized my topics, transfered dozens of individual files into the program, and typed page upon page of notes that were sitting around the office in various piles. In just three days I was able to recycle enough paper to create a twelve-foot stack.
Life Journal for Writers has increased my productivity ten-fold. It helps me break down large tasks into smaller bits - a technique I teach but had never been able to truly achieve. I can work on multiple projects at once without slowing down my computer and finally have a way to organize all those random ideas for characters, plots, and articles. With the help of this software I will be able to reach all my ambitious deadlines, despite my diverse and busy career. Now I just need to figure out what to do with all these index card boxes.
