I'm just wondering if anyone uses software to assist them in the writing process? I have just started to write a novel, having had the characters rattling around in my head for several years.
At the moment, I've a 'hard copy' folder with lots of notes, and I'm currently researching the factual background to some events which will be embedded in the plot.
I have no experience of using software for this purpose, but found several interesting looking - and more importantly, FREE - resources are out there. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations?
At present, I've got my own 'character sheet' templates, and a plot timeline in the form of a calendar. Not yet worked out how many chapters.
