Writiers use Microsoft Word or online word processors like those offered from Googledocs and Zoho for creating their works of fiction and non-fiction. By and large this is all fine and works well-enough. However, yWriter offers a much better writing platform because it was created by a writer for writers. It is not just another word processor.
In the screenshot, you’ll see sections for all of the main components for a story such as for characters, locations, items, goals, and more. There is also a handy navigational system for jumping from each section or chapter too.
There’s also a useful storyboard tool for outlining your work.
Best of all, yWriter is totally free but you can always donate if you like the application. Go here to download the latest version.
