Some Ways Writers Use Personal Knowbase:
For collecting story and article ideas. Leave Personal Knowbase open in the background. When an idea comes to you, get it down fast in PK, then return to what you were doing, assured that you can find the idea later when you need it.
Sometimes when you're doing something else, a snippet of dialog or action runs through your head. Get it down quickly in a PK article. Then, when you later work on the corresponding scene, pull up this saved gem and incorporate it into your working draft.
For managing notes. Lots of notes. Research notes and reference materials. Character and plot notes. Story leads. Interview note-taking. Details for that growing list of ongoing projects.
For journaling. Use the article date field for tracking chronological entries for diaries and journals.
For saving quotes and anecdotes. Save them with a few relevant keywords, and you'll always be able to find the quotation or story appropriate to your needs.
For recording sources. Keep data about sources. Then link research with bibliography entries using hypertext links between records.
For writing drafts. Personal Knowbase is great for getting your thoughts down in the early stages of composition. Save blocks of work with or without concern for ordering and formatting. Later, organize these blocks using keywords for the various book chapters or project sections.
For business information. Save notes on markets, contacts, and Internet accounts. Freelance writing is a business, and businesses run on records.
Testimonials from Writers
“I write three articles per week for publication. On a lark I started writing them using Knowbase. Just for the heck of it. Then I realized that it was the perfect program in which to write them. I am able to index all my references, keep tabs on subjects I've touched on, track quotes -- in short I am now able to write more effectively and efficiently because of the program... Great work - great program! Oh, I keep discovering why KB is better for just about everything I do.”
“This software was a dream come true for me. I'm a writer who is constantly working on multiple projects and designed in my head what the perfect software for organising my notes would be, and lo and behold, you'd already created it!”
