WRITEiTnOW

When I began ACDT, it was as a Microsoft Word document. After the first 20,000 words, it became unwieldy and I grew to dread opening the file, as I knew I would spend more time scrolling through it than I wanted to, looking for the appropriate places to add the words I wanted to write.

I investigated several different 'novel writing' software websites, and decided to try out WriteItNow. It is simple, easy to use, and make my first draft of ACDT possible.

I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the easy of use of the left pane, which lets me organize my thoughts, written bits, chapters, characters, locations, events and more. It exports to text and RTF, and you can choose what pieces of your creation you want to exports. Once I found out how to change the spell check to reflect the colonial tongue instead of the imperial one, it was truly a wonderful experience to work with this piece of software.
