I love ConnectedText, but have not been using it much, as my workflow at the office just doesn’t fit it in, and I use a MacBook for personal work. I keep trying to resurrect my use of CT, because I am so impressed with it, but right now I find TheBrain serves those needs better. Sometimes I even imagine buying an inexpensive Windows laptop just so I can use CT at home, but that just seems like CRIMP gone wild… And I don’t like using the Windows emulators on my MacBook. Too slow and cumbersome. With the new version out, I will have an excuse to put CT through its paces. Looking forward to that.

None taken, we’re not that sensitive over here :) I just jumped in, thinking Steve might still be sleeping on the other side of the pond :) But as I said, if it wasn’t for one of his eye-opening posts over here and on his blog, I wouldn’t be a CT user either.

This alone is a very good reason for CRIMPing along. Hmmm…

I haven’t been using CT much at all. That being said, I upgraded to 6.0 yesterday. Brainstorm can output OPML so I tested with CT and it works great. I have a licensed copy of Scrivener that I don’t use very often—too cluttery or something??? My new best friend is WriteMonkey. So, my plan is to play with ideas with Brainstorm until they gel enough for a good outline. Meanwhile I’ll be writing with wm and linking back into CT.
This is for creative fiction writing. I’ll put my workflow to the test during the next two months, October to get ready and November to crank out my 50,000 plus word novel for this year’s NaNoWriMo. Now it’s time to get back to playing with my new toys.
