Take a spreadsheet, perform some electronic husbandry with virtual Post-It… ^H^H^H tiny adhesive scratch pad sheets, and you end up with something like Writer’s Blocks. Built for people who write [I first stumbled upon the product in a print copy of Writer's Digest] it’s a nifty tool for quickly assembling, sorting and identifying relationships between discrete bits of unstructured text. I’m using a trial download of Writer’s Blocks to identify content chunks and wire-frame the navigation between them for my latest [and greatest?] project. It’s got all the capabilities of those sticky bits of paper, without the worry of your hard-won design falling off the walls.

And if this whole web thing goes south, I’m all set to outline that novel I’ve been threatening to write.
