Richard and Alan,

Thanks for the feedback. It looks like this is turning into a larger
discussion of how to organize a workflow for writing a book. Which is great
- I could use some insight. My problem is I have dozens of disparate files,
each created in a different moment of inspiration and each containing
notes, strategizing, or actual writing for the book.

Richard: You have all your notes in one notes.org file, and you have
another file e.g. writing.org for actual writing? How do you then work - do
you, say, split your frame into side-by-side windows, writing in the right
window while working off of notes from the left?

And to anyone using org-mode for book writing: Do you put thoughts about
structure, tone, and objectives for each section along with the research
notes? Do you make use commenting at all?

If this is off-topic for the list, I'd be happy to discuss them off-list
via email. Or if there's interest, I could create a separate list for
'org-mode for writers.'

Thanks again,
Jay
