Funny,...Great post Alison! I love Scrivener too :-)<br />Funny, I thought you were going to talk about Pinterest - but Springpad sounds a lot more organised and personal, I like it!<br />I had no idea J Crusie was into collaging too.

It doesn't take long but it does require a little organisation. If you are involved in a writers group why not give it a try one meeting.

(First heard that description at the RWNZ conference last year and much prefer it too.) I am quite visual and Pinterest fulfils my needs for a story board so well. I love it!
