I normally just do a big text document, but I’m starting to think thats not the best method for me. It can be overwhelming to keep nice and linear over time.

For starting basic structure, have had good luck with Plottr. If there’s a complex timeline, Aeon Timeline is pretty handy. And once ready to write, Scrivener.
ok, so I am not writer however I write my own diary. I store it in one giant org file and upload it to my private github repo.
I can’t tell if this is a shitpost or not
Plug for something like Obsidian here. I recently started a new novel and the ability to divide everything into folders and sections that I can link to within my writing has been invaluable.
If it’s been a while since I referenced a place or event or character, I can write their name and link out to their dedicated page full of info and reference material on them. If I have something I think of on the fly that I want to remember, I can create a new reference page and link to it, or add it to an existing page whenever I need to .
The organization is a game changer. I write chapter by chapter, sometimes bouncing around in the timeline, and stitch everything together as I finalize a section.
