Hey, I've been using WriteItNow to design the novel I'm currently working on and I'm just wondering if /lit/ knows if there's a better writing software out there.
Any advice would be great!
>pic related its WriteItNow
I like Ulysses. But this seems similar, though the aesthetic is tackier. Ulysses is $50 though. I also use ommwriter on occasion to bang out a stretch of text and MS Word for shorter work.
Celtx for screenplays, MS Word or Celtx for plays

There's a MacOS/Windows writing tool, it went on sale months ago. It looked good and had good reviews.
Can't remember what it was but it let you do characters, storyboards, and allows you to easily organize chapters.

Looks kind of cool.
I'm downloading the demo now.

Ulysses and Ommwriter are both for Mac.
I'm a PC guy that never could afford Steve Jobs "art" pieces..
Its the thought that counts though so thanks for sharing...
I was thinking that there might be some Indi developer with some freeware or just another company that's made something better than Writeitnow is all.
Or just a better system of organizing your characters, locations, notes, ideas, events, etc.. in a program as opposed to multiple directories and the old school digital method.

This is where creativity goes to die...
wordpad.
i don't need to be prompted when to make a paragraph break.
Vim + LaTeX + Git
Use directories

thoughts can be organized, but this is just boxing your thoughts into a novel cookie cutter. I haven't trusted these things since they started coming out for NaNoWriMo.
Stay pleb

You have a great feeling and idea. Write furiously on it. When you're spent, open your nice editing software and instantly see where it fits the best in your novel's framework.
Saves doing it all on paper like Tolkien did (complete with accurate map-making)

you can have your level for yourself buddy

I had to upload it there then save and post it from my phone as I can't post directly here from my terminal.
I don't mind paid software if it's useful (like Scrivener or something) but Ommwriter is such a clear scam when there are FOSS clones. All style and no substance. If you want ambient music just listen to your Eno collection. I fucking hate developers who make tools that are so far up their own ass with voodoo magic. It's like the software equivalent of Fiji water.

This is the same as that writing software, except clumsy and bad for the paint on your wall.
You all have to learn to think for yourselves.
>>7983243
no prob mayne
there is a torrent on kat.cr for a cracked version of it, works great. it's called "scrivener 1.8" or something like that. think it's the only working torrent for it on the internet

this nigga knows what's up
do it, faggot. LERN2LATEX
>>7982887
Ommwriter is also available on PC. It isn't what you are looking for though.
>>7982849
Scrivener, mainly because of its export options.
>>7984118
Yea man thanks again I like it better than writeitnow.
As a token of my appreciation I advise you to pick up FinalDraft for screenplay construction.
Its at the tippy top of the elite list and is a critical must have for any digital tool box..
Regards good Anon, Highest regards~
