This program is a perfect adjunct to the Create A Character Clinic and the Create A Culture Clinic.Now I look left, and the names and terms I need are right there. Found my character and place names in the manuscript the same way, and added them to Characters and Locations respectively.
With WriteItNow, I added every Osji vocabulary word and special worldbuilding term to notes (I found them by doing a spellcheck of the already-written chapters I imported-the whole process took just a few minutes).
I’ve always dealt with it by keeping my maps pinned to a nearby wall or board (place names), covering my computer with sticky notes (character names, ideas, world details), and keeping my language vocabulary sheets on the desk while I’m writing (vocabulary). Part of this is that I do books with lots of characters and detailed worldbuilding, part of it is a short-term memory issue, and I’ve been dealing with both parts of this equation for my entire writing career. I do not remember the majority of my character names, place names, or language and worldbuilding names when I’m writing a book.

So when my agent forwarded me an envelope containing writing software, I was cynical, to say the least.Īh, the difference a day makes.
I’ve tried a lot of it, and most of it is an enormous waste of money. I almost never find anything I love, or even like, where writing software is concerned. I only recommend things I use and love, which is why I frequently mention how much I love Inspiration, and rarely say anything about Word (use it, hate it).
