 This month we will be featuring a software programme made for authors. It’s called authorware. Software designed to make the writing process easier to manage and organised. They come in all shapes and sizes, well at the least with different features. Some will provide built-in tips as well as step-by-step stages for writing a story. Over the next two months we will focus on software which can offer you useful advice, structural guidelines and easy-to-manage writing. Shortstories.co.za will be bringing you these programmes at low cost.

The AuthorWare:

Easy to use novel writing software: yWriter is designed to help authors put together the snippets, outlines, fragments and chapters that go into a finished novel. It uses plain text files within the project, which means that it's easy to get at your work using other programs, too.

Some of the Features Offered:

Å        Organise your novel using a 'project'.

Å        Add files to the project, each containing a chapter.

Å        Add a summary to each file, showing the scenes in each chapter.

Å        Print out summary cards, showing the structure of your novel.

Å        Displays the word count for every file in the project, along with a total.

Å        Saves a log file every day, showing words per file and the total. (Tracks your progress)

The latest version (ver. 2) also boasts the following features:

Å        Scenes within chapters

Å        Viewpoint character, goal, conflict and outcome fields for each  scene.

Å        Storyboard view, a visual layout of your work.

Å        Re-order scenes within chapters.

Å        Move scenes from one chapter to another.

Å        Automatic chapter renumbering.

 

The software is developed by SpaceJock. Be sure to check shortstories.co.za for screen shots of the software in use. SpaceJock has a number of other software packages that they have developed that we will also be making available on CD. They aren’t related to writing, however they offer some useful business and personal solutions… We will put them up on the site soon.
