Kensai, thanks for heads up; Iztok has a new donor—it’s only fair given how much his software is used.

Your post presents a very interesting approach: instead of keeping all kinds of notes in one place/tool (something that a lot of us here often try to do) maintain them in functional context. In this case, you suggest that notes relevant to writing be kept within the writing tool.

As an approach it may not be brand new—in fact all ‘writing environments’ such as Scrivener and Sense provide some kind of scratchboard—but I had never considered it within the context of a ‘zenware’ stripped down environment such as WriteMonkey. Then again, WM is now quite beyond the truly minimal, especially with the plugins. Its advantage is that all the additional tools don’t get in the way; you need only access them if you need them.
