When I've installed and had a good play with it I'll let you know, thank you. I teach psychology and education across a variety of vocational college and university courses including Health and Social Care, Child Care, Learning and Development, and Teacher Training. I'm looking at alternatives right now for a number of reasons, however, I love to teach, and I have the pleasure of working with some wonderful students. James ps. I have a shelf full of books on writing, line editing, English language and grammar and more that I really should get through before I add to my collection, but thank you! Great stuff!

Many of them focus on characters, events, locations, and other story creation-related things. If you find that you like Freemind, let me know and I'll be happy to zip up the icons I use and send them to you. I tend to create stories and modules in much the way one would create a screenplay, scene by scene. There's a really good series of books on the elements of writing (plot, dialog, characters, etc.) that I have really enjoyed. If you're interested in them, send me an email (seomarketer@gmail.com) and I'll be happy to get the names of these books to you. I have a novel I have been working on off and on for a while, and these books have been great source material. BTW, what type of class do you teach? Take care! Steve Myers(aka Cajur) Cybersquig,

I've just downloaded it, I'll have a look, thanks!

It's free and very good. It lets you create your own icons, which you can apply one or more of which to various branches or leaf items. I work for the 800 pound gorilla of online analytics software, managing about 30 clients. This tool works equally well for keeping track of client data as it does for writing novel and D&D module outlines. It's very flexible. You can link to local files on your computer, create links to launch emails, and link to web pages. You can attach images and just about anything you can imagine. If you think in terms of branches and leaves like I do, this tool may work well for you. If not, I'd be surprised if you can't find some use for it, from task manager to contact lists. I don't work for the company. I'm just a huge fan who has used Freemind for a couple of years now and love it for brainstorming and outlining. Maybe you'll like it too. Cheers!
