I was reading the November 2011 issue of “The Writer” magazine and discovered this software that will eliminate the need for notebooks, post-its and index cards. The name of the software is Evernote and the best thing about it is that it’s FREE.
Evernote is a program that lets you keep all of your research on one site and it automatically syncs across all of your computers and devices. So, you can create a note on your laptop, refer to it on you smartphone or blackberry and then pull it up again on another computer. Never be without your notes again when inspiration hits.
I downloaded it yesterday and I have already added all my notes and web pages for my current novel. The only glitch is that I can’t get it to clip webpages. However, the website has a tutorial video and other ways to help introduce you to the product.
To all my writer friends, give it a try. Evermore, so you can remember everything!
