This gave me a nicely organized (typed) notebook that is also a perfect backup for the rest of the MOON AND SUN series (HARDCOPY BACKUPS WILL SAVE YOUR WRITING), since now all the information I need is also right in the writing program. Ditto Culture stuff-most of that went into Ideas. Then-HA!-I exported my notes (Export/Text…check all backgrounding boxes, then go to note you want, export) into beautifully formatted printed pages that went into my RUBY KEY notebook. I went through my Character Clinic questions and developed each character in the Characters section of program. This program is a perfect adjunct to the Create A Character Clinic and the Create A Culture Clinic.Now I look left, and the names and terms I need are right there. Found my character and place names in the manuscript the same way, and added them to Characters and Locations respectively. With WriteItNow, I added every Osji vocabulary word and special worldbuilding term to notes (I found them by doing a spellcheck of the already-written chapters I imported-the whole process took just a few minutes). I’ve always dealt with it by keeping my maps pinned to a nearby wall or board (place names), covering my computer with sticky notes (character names, ideas, world details), and keeping my language vocabulary sheets on the desk while I’m writing (vocabulary). Part of this is that I do books with lots of characters and detailed worldbuilding, part of it is a short-term memory issue, and I’ve been dealing with both parts of this equation for my entire writing career. I do not remember the majority of my character names, place names, or language and worldbuilding names when I’m writing a book. Everything you need, you can see in the left-hand column.The tool is WriteItNow, the platform is either Windows or Mac OS X (including Intel versions–it works just fine on mine), the price is $37.55 US, and let me tell you why it’s cool. In twenty-four hours, I have gone from “Yeah, yeah, yet another useless writer’s tool to try,” to “Oh. So when my agent forwarded me an envelope containing writing software, I was cynical, to say the least.Īh, the difference a day makes. I’ve tried a lot of it, and most of it is an enormous waste of money. I almost never find anything I love, or even like, where writing software is concerned. However, due to variations in monitor settings, the images you see on your screen may differ slightly in color from the printed stickers.I only recommend things I use and love, which is why I frequently mention how much I love Inspiration, and rarely say anything about Word (use it, hate it). I photograph all of my stickers as printed to ensure the greatest accuracy in how they are presented. Stickers ship in a rigid mailer via USPS First Class Package Service. Shipping speed depends on your distance from NY, and is usually less than 7 days. I dispatch stickers from Upstate NY in 1- 3 days of ordering.
