just writing my first film script (i'll announce it when the film is in production  :D ) so this looks like an absolutely ideal resource.

thanks for revealling it, mouser, and thanks to Thomas for creating it.

Hello Mouser,

I'm just starting to get started writing my "novel" if you know what I mean.  I've jotted down some notes and other data regarding the background and the matrix, that I will as a foundation to base the novel 's plot upon.  I have been searching for a good and simple-to-use, software program.  I had considered using the " Literary Machine", but even though I am not a novice at writing in general nor a beginner at using a PC, I found it to be unnecessarily difficult to understand - much less to use.  The Page 4 and or Rough Draft seem to be just what was needed for me to flesh out my manuscript.  Thanks for the tips and the links to the software.

"Keep on, keeping on,"

Deberett, there are several other programs, designed especially for novelists, that you may wish to check out.  I'll be reviewing all of them in detail in coming weeks, but a Google search will take you immediately to their homepages.
