I got a paid job, so my programming project fell by the wayside.

I do intend to resurrect this blog at some point, though!

I’m starting a project to create a web-based novel planning application, and I plan on using this blog to post about the various technological hurdles I find myself jumping over while working on it.

My idea is that all the information you need to write your novel – chapter/scene outlines, characters, places, research information – should be easily findable so that it distracts you from your writing as little as possible.

At present I won’t be providing the facility to actually write the novel in the application, but maybe in a future version.

Technologies I’m planning on using:

• Ruby on Rails (or maybe Django)
• CouchDB
• JQuery
• OpenID

PS: Pardon the mess while I get WordPress set up.
