I have an Evernote account that I wordbarf into every so often. It's a total mess, but it's nice to have all my ideas in one place.
Yes, it does. Makes it easy to keep everything organized.
I have small journals dedicated to each of my projects I'm serious about. I use those to scribble down any random ideas/notes/planning.
I send my friend a lot of my ideas right when I get them, though we talk often so it's not reliable to keep it there too long cause it gets lost in the backlog. So usually I'll screenshot it to transfer to my notes later.
For my outline and script I use google docs, because I can share a link of it to my previously mentioned friend who I share everything and brainstorm with, as well use it on my phone on the go if I have any ideas when I'm not near my computer or notebooks.
i edit stuff on the fly via Samsung Note. Do major edits on iPad Pro. And refer back to them on the PC while drawing simultaneously on the Pro. And this might sound silly, but it actually has an Undo/Redo buttons (._.
Best part: they released free templates of all kinds, some specifically for creative work!
I find it's pretty usedul since you can have separate notebooks for each thing you're working on as well as separate chapters for characters, plot, world building etc. It's also pretty versatile in that you can draw in it as well as add text and include music as well.
I have notes a lot of places, simply to be able to note down whenever the idea hit me. I note them down in my sketchbook, in a keep note on my phone, backsides of letters or wherever. I prefer to write an idea down on paper first, and then type it in later.
But I collect them all in a Google docs document (that I can see everywhere) and a little black notebook dedicated for the project. I usually carried that notebook with me everywhere, but since I work on two things at the same time, plus my everyday sketchbook, it got a bit much, so they stay at home now.
I don't really. Like a dummy I keep most of it in my head. Soon as I get something down, I think of an even better idea. Of course then I usually forget it and wish I wrote it down. But still.
That said I do have a note pad that came with the organizer folder I keep my physical line art stored in. So sometimes I'll break that out and write out some notes. If I put it on the computer I'd just lose it. At least this way it's with my comic stuff and is within reach.
One other reason I don't keep many notes is because I'm so bad at spelling and writing. And often times I can't figure out my own shorthand.
That and I find if I take notes too much, I end up overthinking. But I really do need to write more stuff down.
I do keep important references and notes about stuff in my phone, on my note pad, bookmarked on my laptop, basically anywhere. Research stuff mostly. But organized? Yeah I look up a variety of things so often it's hard for me to find a way to organize crap... tho I probably should since I frequently re-research things cuz of that.
