I've heard a few people mention using YWriter and I have been meaning to download it for a while now. Today I finally got around to doing it and so I have spent the last 30 mins getting to grips with it. If anyone has any hints/tips for making the most of it I would be truly grateful if you can share them with me. It looks like it will be useful in organising my novel and for slotting things in here and there. I have just started setting up my character bios/goals/pics etc. I had previously started this in excel but it didn't really have the desired effect I wanted. Now I will have everything under one roof.
Aside from my novel I haven't done any other writing. I am thinking of setting up another blog though. It is writing related but more to do with mind,body and spirit - something I am also very passionate about but don't really get time to indulge in. I'll keep you posted on that as I haven't thought it through enough to start yet and I certainly wouldn't want to spend less time here because of it.
The best person to ask about ywriter would Calistro. She was the one who introduced me to it.
ReplyDeleteI can't use it for my first drafts but I found it a life saver in my editing stage.
I agree. I couldn't get to grips with it at all, I'm afraid!
ReplyDeleteA.Writer, thanks I shall keep that in mind. Calistro has been so good with all her advice and links etc. I think I will see how I get on and if I have any specific questions I shall see if anyone can help. I know I havent even completed my first draft but I've steamed in too fast and I'm in a bit of a mess with it. Nightmare but I'm still enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I'm surprising myself with it to be honest. I'm just playing about with it for now. I dont think I can do that much damage.
