Some Ways Writers Use Personal Knowbase:

For collecting story and article ideas. Leave Personal Knowbase open in the background. When an idea comes to you, get it down fast in PK, then return to what you were doing, assured that you can find the idea later when you need it.

Sometimes when you're doing something else, a snippet of dialog or action runs through your head. Get it down quickly in a PK article. Then, when you later work on the corresponding scene, pull up this saved gem and incorporate it into your working draft.

For managing notes. Lots of notes. Research notes and reference materials. Character and plot notes. Story leads. Interview notes. Details for that growing list of ongoing projects.

While browsing the web, when you run across that fact that you know you'll need later, copy it into PK and know you'll be able to find it later when you need it. Or just store a link to the web page for later reference.

For saving quotes and anecdotes. Save them with a few relevant keywords, and you'll always be able to find the quotation or story appropriate to your needs.

For recording sources. Keep information about sources. Then link research notes with bibliography entries using hypertext links between notes.

For writing drafts. Personal Knowbase is great for getting your thoughts down in the early stages of composition. You can save blocks of work with or without concern for ordering and formatting. Then you can organize these blocks using keywords for the various chapters or sections of your project.

“I do very much love the application and have recommended it to quite a few other professional writers I know...”

“Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy Personal Knowbase. I am using it for research data storage and retrieval for my books and articles. WOW! It is the easiest data base on the market for those of us who are intimidated by Access and trying to figure out how to use it. Within minutes of downloading it, I was building data bases! Keep up the good work.”

“I'm writing a very complex fiction trilogy, and I honestly don't know if I could manage all of the info without PK to keep track of my 300+ notes. The linking between PK articles was exactly what I needed to streamline the tool for that purpose.”

“Recently, my motherboard crashed and I lost all my programs. I wrote to you to have my Personal Knowbase reinstalled... You have answered positively within two hours and my program is now reinstalled.

I am very satisfied with your service which is MORE THAN EXCELLENT! I am also very satisfied with your program. It is a real treasure! ... Be sure I will promote your product as much as I can. I am presently writing a book on self-publishing in French and I mentioned your program and your internet site in it. Thanks so much!”

“I love this software. I am an information junkie and for 25 years I have been trying software systems of information management to achieve the results I want. I have looked at all the PIMS and info management programs out there...

I am profoundly impressed with the thoughtfulness of your design, the robustness of the software and the ease of use - not to mention its incredible power.

Even putting all my information into your product has been made easy by your very adaptable import function - just brilliant. Plus I have info all over the place and in several would-be information manager-type progs; it is all going into your program.

People talk about software that is a must have and "how could I have lived without it"; that is what your software is to me. You get 6 out of 5 stars for me... ”
