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.

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.

A Zero Friction UI I had been using Apple's Numbers to plot my novels. Numbers is a great general purpose number-crunching tool. But it's not designed specifically to build plots. I tried Plottr, and about ten minutes into my evaluation, I bought it. I liked how it supports multiple plotting frameworks (my favorite is the Seven Point Plot Structure), but even without those, I would still have purchased it. Its interface was designed to lay out a plot the way a writer thinks about it. The UI offered zero friction with creative thinking. Instead of spending mental energy fighting a general purpose tool, I could focus on coming up with plots to entertain readers. The only drawback? I can't blame the tool if I don't deliver! It's all on me, because Plottr is everything it needs to be, and nothing it doesn't need to be.

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.

No regrets in this investment! Plottr has made all the difference in my writing. It's helped me cross from discovery writer to plotter seamlessly and in a fun way. They're always improving the product and customer service is the best. It's an investment where the benefits far exceed the cost.
