Can software help with creative writing?
Notes,
Notes, Notes: One of the most important
resources in creative writing is quite simply
your mind. You should be coming up with new
ideas all the time (provided of course you do
not have the dreaded ‘writers block’) and to
remember all of these you’ll have to make notes.
If you note down when the idea first strikes you
it can be assessed and developed at a later
date, but those ideas are like gold dust – hang
onto them. Our novel writing software can help
with this aspect of the creative process by
taking your notes down and ordering them in a
proper format for easy review and revision. Much
better than scraps of paper stuffed into an
envelope!
Funnel your creativity: At some point all your
ideas will have to fall into some type of format
to form a story or tale. If not, then your novel
would just be a mish-mash of people, places and
scenes which do not fit together into a
compelling narrative. This order and structure
may not come naturally to you, and it may take
time and many revisions before you can make
everything fit. Indeed, many of your ideas may
have to fall by the wayside at the expense of
your storyline. NewNovelist software can help
your creative writing with prompts and tuition
on plot points to structure your novel
correctly.
Read again and edit: Novel writing can be a long
drawn out process, even if your creative
instincts are sharper than most. Often, to
obtain the optimum format for you book, rewrites
will be necessary with changes and alterations
to many aspects of the story. Our software
allows you to back-track and make these changes
without fuss. This means that you can
concentrate on the enjoyable bit - creating an
interesting and compelling story - rather than
spend your hours moving text and copy to and
fro. |

NewNovelist and Creative Writing
Creative writing and learning how to write a novel can be
exceptionally hard. First, you have to learn the basics, then
you have to practice... and practice... and practice. And you also
have to research what makes a successful novel. The vast
majority of novels adopt a basic formula, and we incorporate
these within NewNovelist.
Whilst throughout these additional information pages we have
provided tips and 'how-to' advice, the real gold dust is in our
software program (available on CD or to download). It is based
on tuition from the leading university Creative Writing course
in England (University of East Anglia), and uses templates to
provide you with the structure you might otherwise spend years
researching. These templates can teach you the basics to writing
all different types of novel: crime, mystery, detective,
fantasy, childrens, thrillers, military and many many more. In
short, it provides you with a virtual tutor.
In addition to the template structure, there is context
sensitive help available - advising you on timing, tone and beat
- and scores of examples drawn from modern and classical
literature. For beginners this will be a revelation. For more
experienced writers it provides a welcome refresher.
