iPad typing tip

Save time and organize your thoughts better with this simple tip.

I admit I didn't know you could do this for a long time.  Some users have told me this makes writing in Chapters a dream.  Hopefully this helps you too.

iPhone journal writing prompts

My iPhone journal app, Chronicle, will be available at the App Store within the next few hours.  It's a great way to write, wherever you may be.  You can always export your journal to Google Docs (then print it, save it as a PDF, share it, etc). 

Some may opt to fill the pages with events as they happen.  If your days aren't as eventful as you might hope, you can still practice writing by using writing prompts.  A prompt is suggestion.  Pick from a list of topics and write. 

Some to think about:

  • A superpower I'd like to have is...
  • The thing I liked most about my childhood...
  • One thing I'd like to change about the place I work is...
  • The thing I want to improve about myself is...
  • In five years I want to be ...
  • The proudest day of my life was when ...
  • The best date I ever had was ...
  • The most embarrassing moment in my life...
  • In an apocalyptic future I'd run off to the woods (or city) because...
  • The best way to study something is to ...
  • If you could live in another century, it'd be ...
  • The next place I'll travel will be...
  • A time people admired me was ...
  • Have you seen a ghost or alien?  Tell me about it...
  • You have one year to live.  What do you do?
  • You sold your business for $5M.  What would you do next?
  • What's your favorite movie?  What do you like about it?
  • A historical event you'd like to witness is...
  • Your favorite memory of your parents
  • Your favorite experience with your spouse

Feel free to leave more in the comments.  Try writing with Chronicle on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Chronicle - Writing, notes, lists for iPhone

Chronicle is coming. At its core, it's a chronological listing of
entries, a digital Moleskine.

It's the perfect journal, offline blog, or secret diary, and you can
upload everything you've written to Google Docs. Add images from your
photo library to your entries.

One of the best things about it is the search. I worked hard to get
it right. Even if you write five large paragraphs a day for the next
two years, Chronicle can find the entries you're looking for in less
than 1 second. And to make it even better, each search result appears
with context around it, just like you're used to with search engines.

Write your ideas down and dig through them later. It's a great way to
make notes or memos on the iPhone.
