Lane Grimes asked Michael Head:

What are your most valuable tools as an author other than outlines? Do you use a particular outline software, a wiki generator for your worldbuilding, or have reference sheets for the cultivation rules in your world?

Michael Head I don't use a particular software for outlining, just Word. I have a loose overall series outline, and each specific book has it's own more thorough outline. As for the rules, I have a spreadsheet with the entire world laid out. It is all pretty simple, because I am not great with computers, but it works for me. There are over a dozen tabs that cover things ranging from government structure to monster types and abilities, and lots more in-between.
