Storybook: a freeware story outliner

[JamesSavik]

There are a number of commercial programs out there for authors that help you build characters and scenes: Dramatica, Writers Dream, etc. One of the problems with these commercial packages: none of them is a good fit.

 

Some are expensive and powerful full of bells and whistles you might never need- not to mention a huge learning curve. Others are cheap and underpowered and using them for anything more complicated than a short, short-story would be like trying to cut down a redwood with a butterknife.

 

At LAST there is a powerful freeware tool for writers! Check out Storybook. It has a four star rating from Softpedia and gives you an outlining tool and helps you keep track of characters, locations and timelines.

 

Let me know what you think.

I just downloaded it, and I've got to say I really like this thing! It's easy to use (once you get the hang of it), and has a bunch of cool features.

i'll have to try this out i downloaded the Felis Character Roster thing awhile back and that helped with organizing people. Now if only i could have a Random Name Generator LOL I was editing a story i've been working on for a long time now and tonight i must have backspaced and deleted sooo much then i was adding new things to tie it up to the ending and i introduced 3 men and i was calling them "The man in the blue suit" "the man in the white suit" its also 3am here so i can blame it on not being in bed LOL but i like it because now if i ever write another part i can be like "So the man in the blue suits name was...."
