May be a counter example to your interest in linear writing. Seems to be a non-linear novel. http://davidvanwert.com/die-vampire-die/ I would point out one thing, though. Both examples are published works. I wonder whether TW was used to write them, though. A question: For getting text, possibly text created and organized in a TiddlyWiki, into linear form, what's wrong with an ordinary wordprocessor, e.g., Word, OpenOfficeWrite, or Apple's Pages? I've been working on a long article for some time now. Initially, notes on my reading and thinking about the issue were collected, revised, added to, organized, and reorganized in a TW. In my experience, this kind of thinking is a big part of "authoring," and it is i\distinctly non-linear, and TW is ideally suited for it. Especially a TW using taggly tagging. Once I'd gotten to the point where I'd nailed now my exposition of and position on the issue, I wrote a brief overview sketch of the article. Then I used my TW notes as a basis for and guide to piecing together a linear exposition of the argument. I did that in a wordprocessor. I'm not sure I could have done it in a TW. Especially, as in my case, footnoting and bibliography creation are part of the task. This fits well with the distinction between "composing" and "editing" that has become common in teaching writing. And to sum up my experience: TW for composing, wordprocessors for editing.
