yWriter5 - Free Novel Writing Software To Help You Write a Book
http://www.spacejock.com/yWriter5.html

yWriter5 is a free word processor which breaks your novel into chapters and scenes. It will not write your novel for you, suggest plot ideas or perform creative tasks of any kind. It does help you keep track of your work, leaving your mind free to create. This free novel writing program has evolved over the years into a powerful piece of software, allowing you to break your book into chapters and scenes. Tracking progress is easy with the 'status' flags you can apply to each scene: outline, draft, 1st edit, 2nd edit or done. Because losing work is the pits, this program will also create autobackups by date and time, as frequently as once a minute if desired. These can be browsed at will, making it easy to revert to an earlier version of your work. Includes a text editor, project overview, daily change log and much more. Other features include: 1) Organise your novel using a 'project'; 2) Add chapters to the project; 3) Add scenes, characters, items and locations; 4) Display the word count for every file in the project, along with a total; 5) Saves a log file every day, showing words per file and the total. (Tracks your progress); 6) Saves automatic backups at user-specified intervals; 7) Allows multiple scenes within chapters; 8) Viewpoint character, goal, conflict and outcome fields for each scene; 9) Multiple characters per scene; 10) Storyboard view, a visual layout of your work; 11) Re-order scenes within chapters; 12) Drag and drop of chapters, scenes, characters, items and locations; 13) Automatic chapter renumbering; 14) Full screen editor; 15) Automatic daily zip of the entire project; and 16) NEW: Text-to-speech built into the text editor. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracerâ„¢ Information Blog.
