I’m also a believer in keeping research and writing a little separated so I don’t end up writing more backstory than actual story. Personally I use a self-hosted wiki (Dokuwiki) for my research and exploratory writing, and use Ulysses as my premier writing application when I’m getting down prose.

This is an interesting perspective that I hadn’t encountered before.

It seems that in recent years narrative-format journalism has become more popular. I wonder if some of this can be attributed to journalists switching from traditional pen-and-paper note taking to electronic solutions, and consequently reducing the cognitive separation between the research notes and the actual story.
