So far I've found several categories of software and had some recommended to me, but I don't generally buy expensive software if I can avoid it by getting something similar for less cost.
So.. Do any of you use software for writing and development?
Such as:
Organization? (Like Treepad)
Mind Mapping programs? (Cluster and other diagrams, there are several free ones like Edraw)
World Building software? (Haven't used any)
Map makers/designers?
Writing software? (Like Final Draft)
Character Sheets? (D&D or otherwise)
I'm sure there are other things that can be used to assist a writer in keeping things organized while helping create more depth and detail, but I can't think of anything else off hand.
I'm always looking to try new programs to find the right one for me, but I've been unable to trust cnet for a while now, and the rest of the internet is full of pitfalls as well. I figured I'd start a new discussion about things that are/can be used to make things just a bit easier on a novelist or screen writer.
