![]() What it has that other programs do not is the read to me feature so I can hear how the scene sounds. Simon Hayes has quite a great program and so far between yesterday and today it seems to be a winner. Either way I need to come up with enough story to bake a 70k+. In the process I have deleted over a thousand words bring the total there from nearly 21k to 19k. So I have been playing with programs to go through what I have already written during Camp NaNo. I have plenty of ideas for my characters but not enough yet to feel I can get 50k words. With NaNoWriMo lurking on the calendar I have been busy getting ready. Look how much I get done on other things when I have NaNo to work on! □ I am still learning to use it (when I remember to use it) It is a quick way to check on an email or scene or what have you. My husband recently turned me on to Grammar Check Anywhere For me it is no different than Word or OpenOffice. I have a friend who swears by this software. Oh, when I was writing about programs yesterday I forgot to include RoughDraft: As it is, I would like to have the wall-sized screens of the movies for things like this. It wouldn’t work as well on a small screen. By the way, those for the tablet are best bought rather than trying the free versions. And just like the one above you can color code and illustrate to your heart’s content!. It helped my visual mind to organize my thoughts. I have actually used the manual method to write term papers. If you read about Mind-Mapping and how it works with pencil and paper You will see the advantages of working this map on the laptop or tablet. Simon Hayes of yWriter suggested this one:įreeMind is helpful for more than just writing novels, it can help you figure out other problems in your life that seem to run in circles. It gives me ideas on how thing will interrelate. Sometimes when I am working out a story I like to draw out a mind-map. I got my software a while ago but never could get started until I got that PDF to walk me through the first steps. ![]() ![]() Sometimes Scrivener has deals with NaNoWriMo so go to Scrivener to sign up for newsletters or contact the people there. If you were to get the above PDF you would have nice little novel/manuscript writer. As with any program it takes playing with it a bit to understand. Those texts that are on the same level are siblings, etc. It calls the main (chapter) folder a parent folder and text (scene) the child. In many ways it reminds me of how FreeMind (I’ll tell you about this one later) a mind mapping software. So Now I can give a better review of Scrivener. I downloaded to my tablet so I can read as I work. Though there are real books you can get at Amazon and the like, they are all very expensive, at least they are for my pocketbook.
