GBA Must In My Workflow Plottr is an essential tool in my writing toolbox. I use it writing my novels and with my serialized fiction stories for Kindle Vella. The timeline allows me to view events within my story at a moment's notice. I use the Notes section to help me keep track of story questions I may have later, things to watch for when rewriting, etc. The characters and places sections are especially helpful for keeping a story bible. Pair it with AI imaging from sites like MidJourney, Dall-e 3, etc, and I can see my worlds brought to life. What I truly love is the personalization options available to users. I doubt any two people use Plottr the same. I have my own color-coding system to go along with my tags. This allows me to not only organize my stories as I want to see them but also to filter easily. I have used Plottr since 2020 and haven't regretted spending a single penny on it. It's one of the few monetary investments I've made in writing that I can say that about.

GBI like Plottr I like Plottr, but I'm not certain I love it. Then again, I'm not certain I am using it most effectively. I run my chapters along the top grid and my key characters down the left. I write in Plottr then cut and paste it into Word. I would like a character tree of some kind that would allow me to easily view relationships between the characters, parents, kids, friends, bosses, co-workers, etc.

AUEasy to use and everything you need is there! I have been highly impressed with Plottr. It is simple to use, and it has a great timeline feature that allows you to either access the built in story templates or create your own. The timeline template is easy to manipulate- notes and sections can be added, or moved around. This great layout means that you can also create and align your character arcs with your story arc, which definitely makes the whole plotting process much clearer. I have also enjoyed the character and settings section of the software which allows the information to be readily accessible and include images sourced from the internet. I would definitely recommend this plotting software to writers who want an easy to use and visually satisfying planning tool that allows them to deal with every aspect of the story planning process.

JPI've been using Plottr for about a year… I've been using Plottr for about a year and a half now! I find it is very easy to use and its very useful for compiling information and plotting out a story. There are also many resources on hand to help guide you on how to plot a story, which has helped me to more easily lay down a plot I'm happy with. Definitely recommend!

CANever start with a blank page again Plottr is not just a phenomenal tool for ensuring you hit every beat in your story, developing a well-structured, perfectly satisfying story. But it also ensures you never start with a blank page. Whether you're actually a plotter or if you're a pantser, you can use these outlines to kickstart your creative juices, using the beat descriptions as the start to your writing session. I love this tool and can no longer live(write) without it.
