If there is one rule that undeniably hits most – if not all – authors, then it is that you never know when the muse will strike. Even worse, you can’t control when it happens. Which is exactly why every writer needs to have something at hand to catch ideas whenever they show up. So today we are covering why note-taking is important for Novel Authors.
Unfortunately, historically, that led to an organizational mess of notes written on all kinds of different sheets – depending on where the author had been when the muse struck. Let’s face it: As organized as you may be at your desk, where every paper and every pen has their place – you can’t get away with that 24/7. Be it that you get the greatest idea while at a restaurant. You may not have your notebook with you so you’re forced to use a napkin.
Sure, you can – you have to – transfer your note over to your regular notebook or pile of papers once back at your desk. But that’s not really convenient at all – especially given that it’s not the only situation, not the only napkin, receipt, or magazine you are using throughout your career that very novel, all of your novels.
What if there was one place to organize everything around your novel? Even better, having it with you anywhere you go?
Good news: There is!
We built Untold Novel with exactly that in mind. Truth to be told, being able to take notes whenever the muse strikes was the initial idea for what would then become a fully fledged novel planning app. A labor of love to help as many aspiring authors as possible create better novels.
But it’s getting even better: In order to achieve that, we didn’t just develop a note-taking module. Instead, we added categorization options, layout choices (so you can take notes the way it fits your style best) and best of it all: Untold Novel lets you take notes from within any of Untold Novel’s other modules – without losing focus on your actual task. Designing a new character? No problem, notes are just a tap away.
Given that everything in Untold Novel is project-based, every author has everything that belongs to their novel well organized from the very beginning. More than that, we’ve been working hard to give Untold Novel a tailor-made suit – because optics matter, right? For that, we are using inspiring colors, custom location icons, a beautiful map and much more. What exactly, you ask? Well, stay tuned – we’ll dive into that in a further blog post.
Thanks for reading, stay focused and happy plotting!
Writing ideas don’t wait – so we built an app to take notes where they belong, and much more. Untold Novel is a one-time purchase (no subscription), currently available for iPhone and iPad.
