Writing Resources

I am a bit of a cataloger when it comes to writing resources, so here are some of them. I haven't tried all of these myself, so please let me know if I get anything wrong. If people find this helpful, I have world building and editing related ones I can share too.

  • ๐Ÿ†“yWriter: It is not the most sleek looking program, but it works.
  • ๐Ÿ†“Google Docs
  • ๐Ÿ†“Slugline
  • ๐Ÿ†“Highland
  • ๐Ÿ†“ Wavemaker
  • ๐Ÿ†“ Joplin: The cloud hosting does cost money. Open source alternative to Evernote.
  • ๐Ÿ†“ Only Office: This one is good for people who want a private cloud-hosted alternative to Google Docs. It is open-source.
  • ๐Ÿ†“ Obsidian: I have started using this for world building, but many authors use it for writing. Within it, you can create your own wiki, and view connections in a cool graph. It has many plug-ins you can add.
  • ๐Ÿ†“Anytype: The program is free and private, but for the cloud, you have 1GB of storage, then youโ€™ll need a plan for more.
  • ๐Ÿ†“ Manuskript: I havenโ€™t tried this one, but it looks similar to yWriter, but with some different features
  • ๐Ÿ†“ Bibisco: A writing and note organizer program with timelines, mind-maps, and more.
  • ๐Ÿ†“ Reedsy Book Editor: It is online(not self-hosted/a program download)
  • ๐Ÿ†“ SmartEdit: a MSWord alternative for writers that is supposed to have several helpful editing features.
  • ๐Ÿ†“ Quoll Writer: Open-source, and has several unique features, such as โ€œwarm up session.โ€
  • ๐Ÿ†“ Trillium: Self-hosted and open-source.
  • Plot Factory
  • 4thewords: It turns writing into a game, where you send your game character on a monster-fighting quest by writing.
  • NovelPad:
  • Plottr:
  • Living Writer:
  • Squibler:
  • Notion: Free limited version
  • Scrivener:
  • Atticus:
