I did think about it. I have Scrivener which has an actual screen view that looks like index cards. I have Plottr which has a similar type setup. I have OneNote and Scapple, both of which would have worked.
In fact, I have a huge mind map in Scapple. So huge that I can't see it all without scrolling. FYI, it's for the Blood Feud World. There are so many different couples that I have in the wings, waiting for their stories and I have additional groups of supernatural beings who are waiting, too. Some day.
But scrolling. Lots of scrolling to see what I have. It doesn't work for me. I need to be able to see it all in one view and my dining room table would allow me to lay out all of the paper index cards.
Ultimately, though, while I love computers and electronic things more than most people, there are some things I simply want on paper. This index card-plot layout is one of them (I also like my paper planner and I brainstorm better on paper, too.)
Like I said on Tuesday, we'll see how this works out. The nice thing about being flexible with your process (and I am hugely flexible) is that I'm not afraid to throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. I'm not sure yet that this won't slide to the floor, but we'll see.
