Planning your novel’s structure
How do our tools fare with helping you to organise and plot your story?
Organisational tools are the prime reason for choosing a creative-writing tool over your word processor. All five provide dedicated sections to record key characters, locations and items, from relatively simple freeform boxes (novelWriter and Quoll Writer) to more guided help that encourages you to record details you might not otherwise consider. Bibisco even provides you with the means of linking images to these along with additional details. Both it and oStoryboard score best in this department, however – offering you the choice of freeform text or detailed questionnaires to work through.
