They sync up with your yWriter software (on Google Drive or Dropbox) and you can edit on the fly.

#Tutorial on storyist app android#

I have started to use the Android version and really like it a lot. The Android and iOS Apps are, at the time of this writing, still in beta, but available to purchase. YWriter is available on the PC (not the Mac) and also has Android and iOS Apps. Think of the author of this software as you would an author of a book… he has put the effort in so if you like and continue to use the software… support him! The difference between the two amounts ($12 or $25) to register is simply a different amount of financial support.

#Tutorial on storyist app registration#

The purpose of the registration is to support the writer of the software, Simon Haynes. There are no extra features if you register. The more I use yWriter, the more I like it and the cost was minimal. I have registered my copy (and I have purchased the Android App). There are options to register your copy for about $12 or $25, but this is optional. It means it’s fairly easy to use and offers the features that writers want (see below). First, yWriter is designed and written by a writer.

Let me say two things about yWriter right off the bat. Be careful, however, that you do not end up downloading and installing bloated software (stuff with spam). If you like a simple word processor, but want a simple and free one, I would check out Google Docs, Office Online, ThinkFree or one of the many other options. Check out the link above and take a look in the Products section to see a little bit about Word (it’s part of their “Office” line). $70/year for the 365 option or over $100 for the outright purchase). I would suggest that for writing a book there are two much better options. If this is all you’ve got and all you’re comfortable with, go for it! If you need to swing back and forth throughout your story, take a look at the research you’ve been collecting or work with a storyboard it’s, well… perhaps not the best. The problem is that Word just organizes your story one line after another. The spelling and grammar checkers are great. That’s what it’s been designed to be and what it does well. Let me explore three options below (and mention a few others) as well as share my recommendations: Microsoft Word This wasn’t a bad way to go, but I think there are better ways. I would write each chapter in a separate docx file in order to keep it organized. I started Book One and wrote nearly half of it with Word. One of the things I assumed right off the bat with writing was that Microsoft Word was the way to go (yup, I’m a PC guy). In this blog we will explore some of the software which will assist you in everything from chapter descriptions to organizing your chapters and scenes! Don’t forget to also check out Five Great Tools to Help Your Writing for some other apps which are a big help. It needs to have a flow and there is software out there which can help you do this. Writing is a blast! I have so much fun when I write and I find it so relaxing.
