I enjoy using Plottr I enjoy using Plottr. It has helped a lot with outlining my stories. Using the software has helped me figure out some big picture things regarding my protagonists.

Plottr Rocks Plottr has helped me to think about and focus on the basics and the details in storytelling. Plot lines, character arcs, keeping track of character names, etc. Especially helpful in writing series. Characters can be created once in Plottr but added to multiple books. The notes section allows me to fill in back story. I'm still a newbie at writing and Plottr, but Plottr rocks.

I 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.

Story Structure and Templates I really like all the options for structuring a writing project in plottr. For a new writer, this is a really good tool so far. It is flexible enough to use my own structure (once I have one) but it is really great to be able to start with some idea of what a good novel should have in terms of flow and plot points. Not restrictive, but helpful.

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.
