I had an idea for a book recently, and after a bit of research I've slightly changed the focus because I think I've spotted a gap that no book yet occupies.
I've been making a few notes so far and have got lots of bits of random paper. I'm trying to get a structure for the book together and am realising that I must get away from just presenting facts and need to be able to weave a bit of a 'story' to make it interesting. I'm slightly doubting whether I'm a good story teller, but I'm hoping the research will give me some ideas of how to make it more appealing.
I have just put headings on sheets of A4 paper roughly corresponding to possible chapters, to try and get my notes organised. I sometimes put a book reference with page number to remind me.
Any tips on organising research?
