First let me say that I feel like a whiny moron for bothering anyone with this and if this duplicates a previous topic a link there too will be appreciated. I did a few searches but it's really easy to miss something similar but not the same.
For years i have been writing a thousand words a day and I've felt pretty good about it. I did NaNoWriMo a couple years ago and that went pretty well. For a several years I've been using Google Docs for my writing and it is very convenient and works pretty well except that I can't seem to get my ideas into a usable format.
I just end up with a massive block of text but I don't have the first idea of how to parse it. I've tried different documents. I've tried sections of a single document. I've tried physical note cards. Given that I'm asking for help it's safe to say I've tried everything I can think of.
Recently I decided to try a different medium. Something that would make creating blocks of information easier. So I tried Gingkoapp and Bibisco and have been considering Scrivener. Only now I can't get ANYTHING written because I'm flitting from place to place and format to format and I've hit Tool Paralysis. I know that the way past it is just to write but I want to actually finish something and my current methods haven't worked and... and I'm just really frustrated.
