Keeping it organized...

 

Thank you so much to Lanetta for this blog idea and for helping me decide to use MS OneNote over StoryBook to keep my story in check mate. 

Please check out Lanetta's blog post Tuesday Tips: Minute Details

I haven't done much so far only fooled around for a few moments with MS OneNote but here are some screen shots to what my new favorite organizing books way looks like. 

My character Page includes information about each character, pictures I find on the web about what they would look like/resemble, their vehicle if they have one, and the house they lay in. And whatever else I plan to attach. Pretty much just whatever information I want to add about each person goes on their page.

 This is the top tabs of the notebook. You can customize them for whatever your wanting to use them for. I did the chapters across. You can have unlimited number as far as I know of tabs.

This is the side list (Shows on right side of screen)under the Character Intros tab. Each tab has its own side list so this won't carry over from tab to tab. And Each tab can have any customized side list pages you want. Each name is a different page under that tab and the indent is subpages under each page. You can have unlimited number as far as I know of subpages and pages. 

You can save this as a notebook on your computer and also can create different notebooks for different stories and you never have to close OneNote to access them. They all show up as different notebooks with their own customizable tabs and pages. This shows up on the left side of the screen.

Hope this helps you have another idea on how to organize a story and a look into a really neat program Microsoft has to offer.

Arrival Date!!!

It is official I have my Poetry book and I am currently doing a few last minute edits before I approve it for sale. This has been the best Monday ever. I am all tingles from my nerves and super excited. I was flipping through the pages and I thought my heart may explode with enjoyment. And I don't think anything in the world would be able to wipe the huge grin off my face!!! I am truly in love with the fact I finally got my words out to others. I will let you know the exact day it goes on sale. YAY!!! I am now a published author :)

Oh also a heads up my first novel is almost half way done!!! I love how it is unfolding. And I just hope you all love it too.

Friends have ways to keep in touch.

Okay so one thing I must admit that I love to do is be pen pals with people all over. I love learning about new places and I love getting to make new friends. I must say that I do enjoy being a pen pal more then I enjoy being an e-pal (pen pals through email) but with email becoming so easy and free the e-pals seem to become more of a common thing. But the joy of receiving a letter, not, package or anything else from your pen pal friend is one that is hardly matched. One thing about pen pals now is that you can start as e-pals, slowly move to pen pals, and then even phone pals. There are so many ways to get in touch and talk to people. So I offer this. I want to know my friends. I want to get a better friendship started with each and every one of you. And if you are willing to do the same then please leave a comment with your email, address, phone number or you can send it to me in one of the contact ways. And yes I would love to be your friend on facebook but this I am asking to take it to another level. A more personal friendship level that requires direct contact with one person instead of thousands. Pen pals, e-pals, phone pals are fun.

Would you like to be my pen pal?
