This is actually a pretty interesting way to think about which app should be used for which type of writing.
Question: What am I writing?
a. Longform – a novel or non fiction piece of more than 2,000 words.
Answer: Scrivener
b. Shortform – a blog post or e-mail or report or some such. Something that I’m “drafting”.
Answer: IA Writer
c. Notes – an idea, a thought, a snippet or reminder. Something that may grow, or may link, but does not in its current form represent a draft towards publishing.
Answer: Obsidian
Question: where do I “archive” writing?
Answer: DevonThink
DevonThink is searchable, organised and backed-up. Perhaps archiving is an annual process – so at the beginning of 2022, I archive any and all pieces in IA Writer that predate 2021, leaving a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 2 years in situ. Scrivener projects can be archived too. (In Plain Text)
