Who uses novel writing software?

(1/4) > >>

Cooper:
Besides the usual popular word processors, like Apple's Pages and Microsoft Office's Word, are there any programs that help write novels?  I found one and thats Avenir.

KevinEvans:
I don't know if this qualifies,
I use a voice to text program from "Naturally Speaking". It takes me from a 25 word a minuet two finger typist to a 120 word a minuet writer. the biggest problem is that I tend to get ahead of my story line and have to spend time blocking word groups together. Oh yeah the software occasionally get creative about what I say too, like substituting "Friends and lovers" for "Springs and Levers" in a tech article....
Regards,
Kevin

I just downloaded the spacejock software.  I haven't used it much, but it seems like it might be helpful to those outliner types.

I have been wanting to get that program called "Writer's Blocks".  It looked pretty interesting, but it's like 150 bucks.

Right now it's good 'ol Word, though.

i use Storyist on the Mac.  Great piece of software, keeps everything neat and together.  Sheets for characters, notes, chapters and sections.
