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.

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.

You got to have this tool! I've been utilizing Plottr since nearly its inception, back in its early days, and it's proven to be an indispensable asset for my writing endeavors. Plottr boasts an extensive array of features, many of which I've yet to fully explore, and the team continually enriches it with new additions. Despite struggling to keep pace, I'm thoroughly enamored with it. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned writer, Plottr is a must-have tool in your arsenal. I wholeheartedly endorse it.

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.
