Great for non-plotters I hate to plot and tend toward being a pantser. This gives me a plan and I love being able to keep track of time, places, etc via tags. I only gave it 4 stars because is a bit pricey for an unpublished author.

I love this software I love this software! It is so helpful for me in tracking the large pantheon of characters that I have in my longer series/town locations with multiple series and to keep all of the details straight and in one central place. Instead of having three spreadsheets, two Word docs, and my Scrivener files to look back on what I did three books ago, I just need this one piece of software.

Plottr is essential to stay organized Plottr is essential to stay organized. I am working on a long novel (or series maybe?), and there are so many places, characters, themes, and plot points to keep track of. Using Plottr has actually allowed me to develop my story in ways I didn't think it could go because it can hold everything for me as I try to fit the pieces together. I have created a database for every single element of my story and it's amazing!

Never 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.

Plottr helped streamline outlining I bought Plottr slightly over a year ago because I wanted to outline a novel in a way that would be easy to edit, but the available tools didn't seem helpful- Google Sheets seemed like it'd be clumsy while copy & pasting, plus visually distinguishing cells could be mentally cumbersome. I was averse to index cards for a number of reasons (my legibility is poor, space reasons, keeping track of them all, didn't want to write and re-erase everything, etc.). So I bought Plottr- and to be honest, I'm quite pleased with it. Over the next few months, I found I was able to reorganize my outline relatively easily as I started coming up with events. I don't remember when I got the major plot points into a satisfactory state as it was a gradual process, but I'm in a state right now where I can start writing up parts of my story, save as scenes and then click and drag in Plottr as needed to rearrange.
