To write one of my columns or reviews isn’t rocket science, but it sure generates a lot of inane jottings. It involves a lined paper notebook, voice notes on my cell phone, sticky notes on my desk, text and clipping files strewn about on my desktop, a Gmail label for link dumps, and a clipping drawer in Drop Drawers X. My writing system has undergone natural selection over the years.

Let me detail the challenge I was asking a piece of software to overcome. To give away the conclusion, the answer was that it was not useful as a blog client, that it did made me more organized, but that didn’t lead to better or faster writing. The goal, in reviewing Mariner Software’s very nice tool, was both to test its explicit functionality and to see if MacJournal made my writing process cleaner and more organized. In any given month, I take notes on research for info graphics, product pages, and features I’m working on I make clippings for fiction that is under way I jot things down for the occasional weblog post and of course I produce my columns and reviews. When I write a Bloggable column, I do about three hours of organization. I sat down, just before I agreed to review MacJournal, and took an inventory of all the myriad places I keep my text files, and it dawned on me that I must be insane. Where did I put that nut graf for the signed column I’m writing? Where did I write down those inspired sentences to make into a lead-and where are my notes on that review of MacJournal for ATPM? When you write often and generate a great deal of supplementary text, as a blogger or as a “real” writer, keeping track of all the bits you’re pushing becomes quite a challenge.
