As you all might have experienced is that keeping track of your notes and what they relate to in the story or other notes can become quite the chaotic mess. Because when A leads to B leads to XY-IIIVV and that eventually has an impact on C again. Well... It gets messy because at a certain point you'll never remember if you had all notes that related to that bit of text you just wrote.
So I looked for a brain-mapping program to no avail. Simply because most (if not all) merely have room for a few words before heading off to the next point.
Now I've been talking with a friend of mine and he is willing to help me (and it's not just for me trust me on that one ) out. Yet, I can't possibly know everything in advance as to what basic features would be needed and preferred.
So far I've made this paint image about what it should look like:
A: This is supposed to be the category box, it explains itself.
B: Needless to say, this is the point where you can edit, read and make notes.
C: Shows the first 10% of any other note that corresponds, for example the category or the content that is in the note you are currently viewing, but also happens to apply to a different category than this particular one.
With the program you would be able to (eventually, not at first) import a word .doc a .txt and even .odf (Openoffice format.). You would be able to set-up links between notes and store them under the proper category.
Example:
Category: Creatures.
-Random creature that attacks with spewing blood causing an infection to the target.
This would basically also apply to the Category: Infection.
-Symptoms: abscesses etc.
You would be able to link the 2 notes to gather, yet keep them separate and avoid double notations.
If anybody has more ideas (or can tell if this already exists in such fashion) feel free to leave a reply with your 2-cents.
