First Novel and Writing Software
You are about to start work on what will be your first novel. You may have started this process before, but this time you are determined to finish what you start. If this is the case then you will want to find the perfect software for the job.
Why does software matter?
Can’t I just open notepad and get going?
Sure you can and if that works best for you then do so and do not worry about what other writers are using. I believe that the majority of writers get caught up in the quest for the next big thing. Finding a writing software that will practically do it all for you. This software does not exist. You are the writer and you are going to have to work hard on your novel no matter what anyone advertises.
To be fair to all involved I am not going to try to sell you on any one program. I use the one that came with my computer and my backup program that millions of people use. The three programs that I am going to look at today are three of the most popular, but there are dozens more out there and all you have to do is a quick google search to find them.
First up is a program named Open Office. It is free.
The second program is Microsoft Office, although I find that Word perfect is nearly as good.
The last one I want to look at is the very popular Scrivener.
Good luck writing your first novel no matter what program you select. Just remember to have fun. Now if you have a free moment please share this post with a friend and like us on Stumbleupon. Thank you and remember if you want to write well you need to read a lot. Read every day.
