Writing with a wiki

I just finished my first writing project in the wiki-like tool, Note Studio. (I explored this last month.) Note Studio suited my writing style quite well. One of the best ways for me to avoid writer's block on more formal writing tasks is to pretend that I'm writing something that comes more naturally like email or a blog entry. So, I didn't miss (much) the fancy tools that I have in Word while I was writing the draft. And it was really nice to use the back button to get to my list of sources which linked directly to the material.

Collecting the source material was also easy with Note Studio. I simply cut and pasted email messages, articles, and other bits and pieces onto their own pages in Note Studio. My thoughts went on another page so I had little opportunity to confuse source material with my own.     #
