Who Am I and Why Did I Write This Book?

I’m both a selfpublished and traditionally published author, who maintains a
fulltime writing business. I write about topics as diverse as selfpublishing,
writing, history, genealogy, and technology. When not writing, I’m off building
WordPress websites or photographing the frontier west.
Because I work on so many different projects and for such a variety of clients, I
quickly discovered the need to organize all of my research and writing in one
place. As I no longer keep paper files, I needed a service that replicated the ease
and organizational structure of a filing cabinet and hanging files. Evernote was
that service. But in all honesty, I didn’t immediately embrace it. It took about six
months of stops and starts before I realized just how big a difference Evernote
made – not only in researching a book or a project, but also in the writing
process.
Since creating Evernote folders for all of my current and future projects, I no
longer have to search through a stack of paper to find the exact piece of
information I need. And I’m not stumbling around the Internet, trying to re-find
valuable sites I hadn’t bothered to bookmark.
Today, Evernote is my go-to online service for stashing ideas for blog articles,
ideas for new projects, client meeting notes, marketing thoughts, web clippings,
contracts, and notes about each project. Not to mention audio notes and video
clips I’ve created.
Because it’s not unusual for me to come up with a new book idea while still
working on a current project, Evernote gives me the luxury of keeping all of my
notes in one – very organized – location. Once you start using Evernote, I doubt
that you’ll ever return to paper.
In this book, I’ve done my best to introduce you to the magic of Evernote – and
more importantly how you – the writer – can make it your default research and
writing assistant.
