Got an idea that you think could turn into a #1 New York Times bestseller? You’ve got to put your thoughts into paper, stat. You can go with the old school route and using a pen and a journal to scribble your ideas. It would be better to go digital, so you can easily organize them once you actually start writing. While you can always use Microsoft Word, it doesn’t have the features you need to systematize your plot.
