First, the complaint, which is only sort of a complaint. Mostly, due to the responses from yesterday's poll*, I have eleven index tabs open, and considering how big the Deaths index has gotten, it should really be fourteen. Augh.
Related to indexes, I quotes:
Tae, who has recently admitted she's afraid of her story-index html files (again): I should really get Radish to introduce me to Scriviner.
Dormouse: Scriviner is awesome even when all you use are baby features. Scriviner is GOD, bow before it. Use no false idols.
Tae: . . my current writing tools are TextEdit, Word Count Tool, occasionally excessive open tabs or alternate text windows, and pillows. I don't think I'm even at the false idols stage.
Dormouse: ......oh my GOD. HEATHEN. :P
Tae: yes?
*: I really, really need to stop offering you lot Chevalier de Grammont as an option. I've run out of things I knew happened in that period, and am now feeling about like I'm in an unfamiliar living room in a blackout, and you lot want six more pieces. Yeek.

Hee! I'm sorry it smells, but am not surprised that it does.

Date: 2012-05-02 09:28 pm (UTC)From:I have a Storybook now, since that was one of the alternatives the Internets suggested. (I'm not going to pay for something that's not natively supported even if it probably *will* run under Wine, that's a voting-with-pocketbook thing for me). I will poke it with a suspicious stick at some point.
It'd be nice to have everything to hand, but realistically I suspect what I need is just far enough off-step from the standard tools to be unworkable. I doubt anything's going to integrate properly with Gramps (and I'm not re-typing all that geneaology stuff), I've gotten very fond of Lyx (especially now I have the journal-code conversion working), and I am *unreasonably* attached to the grep command for finding things (which only works if files are stored as text).
