There are a lot of writing systems out there, such as Microsoft Word, NotePad, OneNote, Lyx, and probably hundreds of others I have never heard of before. The annoying thing I found using some of these [Never used Lyx – I don’t have a Mac, same with OneNote] is that they are useful for writing small, more simple stories down [The ones done on a whim, which don’t require hundreds of notes and pages to be saved]. I was working on Demonic Beginnings some time ago today, and I was a bit annoyed about jumping from window to window, program to program and writing things in NotePad, then into Word, and even on a paper I had next to me. The whole process was a pain, to be honest. Sometimes I’d click on the wrong window, or I’d have too many open [internet, NotePad, Word, (Lots of different documents)] and I’d be spending my time looking for the one I needed. The paper was only there so that I could jot down the things I would be unable to in NotePad, or in Word [Tables, looking back for names, being sure something was correct with my writing, etc…]

After this whole pain of a process, I had to take a break [A break I have yet to return from] just because the windows were becoming overwhelming and it was starting to become frustrating at parts. I have note cards [physical], papers, NotePad documents, Word documents, all about the same subject, just all being organized in different documents because one document on its own isn’t enough to really hold all of that information and continue to be coherent. Having all of these different documents is something that just gets irritating, as for me, when I go to “Open” and search for a file I want, my results are always nonexistent. This means that I have to go through around two hundred documents [short stories, epics, notes, school stuff, novel stuff, book reports, ideas, etc…] and pull out the ten, or twenty I need. The annoying part is doing this for two different programs, and fiddling around as to get a piece of paper along with a pen/pencil.

Going through all of this for what feels like the hundredth time made me wonder as to why there seemed to be no programs that have; Notes [such as a note card feature], and just… well, a single file that holds the information of ten.

It’s just all bleh.

And I had more reasons and features to add, but I forgot what they were cuz as I started to type this entry, old thoughts and ideas just started to leave my head as I started focusing on other concepts first. ><
