journaling software question 

What are folks’ preferred journaling software programs? Bonus points from folks that are used to managing mental spirals and really long thought debris that take a lot of words to unpack.

I tend to be way too verbose at people when I have complex thoughts to unpack, and I want a way to manage getting to the tl;dr version better. Scrivener and Emacs Org Mode (my usual go-tos) don’t shape themselves too well to that, but I can kind of make them work if needed.

journaling software question 

A clue is this isn’t a problem for anything with a draft mode (email, Gdrive documents, etc), but is when trying to make long thoughts work in media expected to be synchronous. So that might be a clue that some kind of easily accessible scratch drafting space would be what I’m looking for?
