My search for a program that will help me organize my writing notes and help me have a sense of calm to begin writing continues. I've realized life is too stressful for me to write. But I do have snippets and notes and ideas and it'd be great to use this time to outline. I usually hate outlining. But maybe this is an opportunity ti develop my own style of outlining without actually chomping at the bit to write the story proper.

The Literary Machine 2000 1.1 seemed like it might be it. Except for one little problem.

There doesn't seem to be open up a new project. What I mean is, there's this lovely listing of terms and concepts that right now all relate to how to use the program. But I can't create a new blank listing just for my project. It seems as if all the tags will be jumbled together.

That's not helpful to me.

It'd be one thing if these were only help files and all my writing tags were jumbled together. But this is stuff like data base application and word processor and I just don't need them there.

My other gripe? The tool buttons don't have text assigned when you hover over them. No wonder the damn program needs screencasts and all this crap about how to work it. People can't figure out what a button does just by hovering over it. How the hell is that intuitive?

More, including Cayra and Personal Brain (my once upon a time love) )

Parents called from the car. They're on their way - 15 mins at the most.

I should be around sometime on Monday.

I hope.
