Novel Writing

It may seem odd to some but when I am writing a novel, that is basically all I think about even when I am not writing or researching.

My thoughts are always revolving around a scene or the plot like what might happen down the road, because of this happening previously.

I keep notes on each chapter, writing down what I think I may need to reflect back upon; however, no matter what I write down, I am always looking for something that I did not write down.

One of the nice features about MS Office 365 Online is that it comes with COPILOT; I can ask COPILOT questions or I can use its features like FIND...  

Using FIND, I can type in a name, instantly have how many places where that name is used, enabling me to go back to the first instance, and check out what I wrote.

That feature has kept me from having to write down so much about each chapter.

COPILOT also lets me test out plot ideas and various scenarios to see if they make sense or if I have left something out.  COPILOT also helps me lay out my thoughts and I can return to the library and reread what was discussed two weeks ago.

COPILOT is great for research, mapping out trips, and accuracy when it comes to details.  If I use any of its replies, I always put it into my own words to stay consistent with the rest of what I have written.

It is a great secretarial assistant.
