Writing Tools

Randy Ingermanson, the Snowflake Guy, has released a new and improved version called SnowflakePro version 1.0.3. The previous version required the storyteller to enter and edit the story outline to create a better story plan. SnowflakePro lets you enter directly into the program and follow the steps to expand the plot and characters until you have a strong synopsis. The part I like is the ability to create a separate synopsis - either short or long - for use in a proposal. Randy has recorded a nice introduction that plays within the program.


SnowflakePro is on sale through Midnight Friday, November 20th, for $20. That's 80% off the normal $100 price, so this is the week to check it out. Two bonuses are free lifetime upgrades and a five-user family license to cover more than one computer.

More Writing Software

Another good writing program is WordWeb. I am running version 5.51, and it's a great aid when you need a word, or think of a similar word, but it's not quite what you needed. There is a free version available: http://wordweb.info/free/

The free version WordWeb includes definitions, synonyms, related words, and even pronunciations.

After you use the program a while, you may consider moving up to WordWeb Pro for a small fee to gain multiple extra features like more words, editable database, add your own words.
