But with Wicked Intention I tried something new. I had an iPad with the Apple pencil and an app where I could import PDFs and make notes. This seemed much more efficient and neater than paper.
It started out okay. I would record the information when I finished writing for the day. Only this didn't last.
I don't have my iPad in my office when I'm working, so there was no way to record a scene while I was writing. I had to rely on my memory later. I'd frequently forget all about taking the time to open the app and make my calendar notes. When I did think of it, my iPad was usually not around and I'd forget again by the time I saw it.
And this happened often enough that the backlog became too great. I couldn't remember what chapter happened when. I'd have to read through the entire manuscript and record everything as I went and I didn't have time to do it, not when I was so close to the end.
I decided to finish writing the first draft and catch up later. Well, it's time to pay the piper. Gah! This time, though, I printed out the calendar pages and will record on hard copy.
