Darn, now this research is leading me into temptation–Character Writer looks interesting.

Character Pro has evolved (thanks to the charmingly named Typing Chimp Software) into a broader program called Character Writer. I’ve since been introduced to them in various workshops, by people who really make the system pay, but I find I’m not one of them. I used a few of the programs, including a couple of games I played for years, but I think the only one I bought a commercial version of was Action Outline, an excellent outliner, still going strong, although I haven’t used it in quite a while.Ĭharacter Pro used the enneagram method to assist in character development, although at the time I wouldn’t have known an enneagram if I’d tripped over one.

The contents consisted mostly of trial versions of software programs, both shareware and commercial, all dated 1998. That one came on a CD, and I found it in a box of old software. Somewhat to my surprise, the old IdeaFisher has been resurrected and rewritten as ThoughtOffice, with an add-on called Muse for novel writing.Īnother early foray into writing software was a disk called Software DreamPack for Writers. I’ve long since lost track of both the software (which probably came on a 5.25 inch floppy disk and ran on Windows 3.0) and the manual, so I looked it up on Google. It was, as I recall, something of a cross between a thesaurus and a brainstorming program. One of the earliest I tried was something called IdeaFisher. Maybe that mysterious program that enables some writers’ computers to turn out several books a year. Writer’s Blocks is one of the latest in a long string of programs I have tried, and usually abandoned, in the pursuit of some magical writing aid. I closed the email, but I didn’t delete it. Then I type my work into Word, and keep notes and charts in Excel.īut Temptation dropped into my email box last week, with the subject line Writer’s Blocks 4 is Here! Rewritten from the ground up for Windows 7, it promised, along with all sorts of new and/or improved features. So how do I actually write? I do first drafts longhand in spiral bound notebooks, the seventy-page kind Wal-Mart sells for a dime apiece during their back-to-school sale every fall. I’ve tried outliners, storyboards and character designers.
