When this idea started some weeks ago I thought that Microsoft Word was enough.

Then came a 50-page Word document with everything – an explosion of unformatted words, pictures and project tables. Going forward, it will be impossible to manage. I have only 8 chapters lined up (already for a month) and can not find a single thing. I now have more ideas than I can put in words, so I record them on my phone which creates another unmanageable chaos.

When I finished my first chapter, I realized that needed support editing the basics and not using AI tools for research, visuals and grammar correction, would be stupid. So now I have a new old laptop. Perfect.

And latest decision pending on my mind is Plottr or Scrivener. Need organization I definitely cannot strive in chaos. So I will try it out.

Needless to say, everything is costly, money and time. But I am either serious about it, or not, right?
