Great story! I too do all my research and drafting in Evernote, the only thing keeping me from writing the actual script in Evernote is its lack of formatting options that are needed for screenplays! It’s possible in pages and word, but I haven’t seen a template where you could like type in F2 and have it formatted for character dialogue, action description etc. Hope to see a more advanced formatting coming soon! Best,

I am an animation producer. I stumbled across evernote a few months ago. Never intended to uses it in my work. Then a couple of weeks ago I discovered I could clip images from the web that I use for reference and make note books for them, I have been slowly using Evernote more and more, without realizing It. I am moving everything over to Evernote now. It looks like I will be using Evernote almost exclusively from now on. Funny how things that are right under our noses go unnoticed sometimes. I really love this work flow.
For storyboards I used to draw on paper then scan in to the computer, now I just use my Iphone and snap pictures, it is so fast and simple.

I use Evernote to write all of my blog posts. I commute to work, so having Evernote on the iPad while on the train is great for jotting down ideas, finishing up a post and sharing with my co-workers before publishing. It’s especially nice when the train is crowded. I can still sit on the steps or in an isle and write.

As a first-time film director, I see Héctor’s story as confirmation for my plan to use Evernote as the repository for my notes, plans and ideas for the fantasy trilogy I’ve just started prepping for. It had never occurred to me to photograph my handwritten notes. What a great idea!

I’m a novelist and this is one of the most useful blog posts I’ve ever read. I have boxes full of scribbled notes, articles, photos, song lyrics–anything that inspires me while I’m creating a world for my characters. I love the idea of transferring my scrap box into Evernote so I can see it no matter where I am. Thanks for the inspiration and insight into how you work.

I use OmniFocus now but would love to use Evernote for my task manager. Any plans that anyone knows of to develop this?

Another great Evernote usage story!

As a new screenwriter myself, im inspired even more to use Evernote in my craft. Although i do wonder how to setup GTD on evernote.

If the awesome Evernote team has a plan to come up with Evernote’s own gtd/task management system incorporated into notes, that will be a dream come true!
