    A open-source tool for writers

  • For getting oriented with the direction of the plot, take a look at the Snowflake method and the seven-point story structure. Also character arcs: the protagonist has to learn something or have a revelation or change at the end of each scene. After the outline is mostly sketched out, your first priority is to add to the word count in whatever manner makes sense. Set a daily goal in 1000-2000 word increments. Use any means for committing to word-count driven writing sprints, discord sprint sessions, online SU&W meetups. Use software like Manuskript if you could use some rigid structure and a place for organized notes, then import the final draft into google docs for initial editing, and editing with the beta-reader. If blocked, change fonts, write in a different room, or face a different direction, switch to a paper notebook, or use ambient music to set the mood.
