Or I could use pen and paper or move sticky notes around on a wall or floor or draw mind maps in the steam on the mirror after I shower. It was too similar to my last plot, and there was no way to connect it to my protagonist’s internal character arc in a way that wouldn’t feel clumsy and forced. Turns out, I have to throw out the plot that I’ve got and start over with a new one, because the other one just wasn’t working. In a lucky coincidence, I happen to be stuck in the early phase of my next novel. That’s where mind-mapping tools can help.
That’s all well and good if you already have an idea for a plot, and now just need to fine-tune it, maybe move some pieces around, add some clues and red herrings, that kind of thing.īut it’s not particularly useful when you don’t have much of a plot to start with.
#SIMPLEMIND EMBED HOW TO#
15 free mind map tools for writers By Maria KorolovĪ few days ago I wrote about how to use the free online app Miro to plot out a story. All proceeds go to helping us pay for original stories and to support writers of speculative fiction.
#SIMPLEMIND EMBED ANDROID#
On Android this is also secured and therefor not possible to link to files on your Android.Some articles may include Amazon affiliate links. When working in the files tab you can add a weblink only. Because of that linking to a file on your own device is not allowed. This a security measure from Apple and limits what the AppStore edition of SimpleMind can do.
#SIMPLEMIND EMBED FOR MAC#
*Note! SimpleMind for Mac (AppStore edition) and SimpleMind for iPad/iPhone are sandboxed. For example, when Jim's number is (+31) 11 1234567 on your Android and 011-1234567 on your iPhone. Phone numbers need to be exactly the same, if they are not, the link will not work. Note: If you use different contact apps, use "link by e-mail". If the contact has more than one e-mail address or phone number you can choose where you want to link to. Other devices with the same contact can open the link. The link will then actually be a "Link to Document in Cloud" as described above.Īdds a link to a contact by phone-number or email address. To overcome this problem, SimpleMind optionally allows uploading a copy of the linked document to a cloud.
Other devices with access to the same cloud can open these documents. When you store the mind map in a built-in cloud you can link to a document in that same cloud. Fill out, or copy/paste, the whole internet-address, including or to make the link work. Use copy/paste link to link to a specific topic in the same or another mind map *.
