The author says it a good idea for one who thinks he needs something like scrivener to write his novel: namely, so complicated in plots and characters, etc., the author himself cannot keep up. I prefer to read and write fiction that does not need such organization = something more than a microwave meal and less than a 5-course banquet - something requiring an outline, maybe.  OneNote is good for scattered pieces of research here and there that I used to put into individual text files and eventually lost track of or ended up on a dead computer and can now be easily gathered together across computers and in/out a Cloud.

Re: ONENOTE

I've been writing for quite some time and have never felt the need to get past what I call my "OneCab". It is filled with notes and stuff for each of my stories. OneNote seems nice but only if you are starting out as a new writer. It would take me several months, if not more, to transcribe all the flotsam and jetsam (as Charles points out) into electronic notes. A lot of them are maps which I use to plot travels of my characters. They would have to be scanned in.
