Novel writing software – my recommendations and reviews
Everyone has their own way unique way of pushing through the creative process. I’m no different. I know writers who will only work with Microsoft Word, and are quite happy to just sit and write – all linear, some semblance of plot in their head, maybe a few notes about character off on the side, scribbled in a rough notebook. And then voila – genius!
I, however, cannot work like that. I know this, because I tried twice and belly-flopped like a whale dropped from a helicopter, from a great height. It wasn’t pretty.
The first 2 failed drafts I had written were done in yWriter. Since then, I’ve identified a couple other programs to help me whip my frenzied thoughts into submission and order. I’ll talk about the programs I use here – but please note that this is unique to the way I work.
