Writing a novel with yWriter will take more time initially than writing it in another word processor if all the information that it can contains is added by the writer. The text editor itself is a basic text editor that can be used to write a scene and enter detailed information about the scene's characters, locations and objects.
The Tools menu for instance contains a link to the storyboard which will process all the information that has been entered into the application, and displays it in a timeline. The menu on top provides additional means to add or edit all aspects of the novel easily.
All the additional information that make up a scene like locations and characters is also listed in that overview. This reveals important information to the author immediately, like the number of words, viewpoint or status. A click on a chapter will load the scenes in the main window. Each chapter contains one or multiple scenes that can be filled with the actual text, but also information like characters, locations, items, scene notes and goals.Įach chapter is displayed in the sidebar with its title and additional information. The software divides novels into chapters and scenes which are all accessible from the same interface. It is compatible with both the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating system. The free novel writing software yWriter (via Barry) is such an application. Benefit of using those is that they concentrate on that job for the most part, and get rid of any additional functions and features that novel writers do not need. There are however some - lesser known - novel writing software programs available that have been designed with that purpose in mind.
