Mariner Software Storymill 3.2.1
A familiar interface will help you organize your writing.
Many people entertain fantasies about writing the Great American Novel. The number of people who really have this great novel written or otherwise, it is far less. Besides the talent, creativity and motivation to keep it for thousands and thousands of words, not having the right tools in hand can be difficult. There is no doubt that already has a word processor on your Mac, but a specialized application for writing the novel in May that offer features of word processors can not match. And while the supplements alone will not make a new one magically appears on your screen, with the right tool for the job makes the drafting process of the expansion project much easier, not to mention better organized.
Mariner’s StoryMill presents a paned, like the iTunes interface that is familiar to all Mac users. The left edge contains the sources, organized into different groups. You can use the list to access hierarchical source chapters or scenes StoryMill the most basic building blocks. You can also use this list to rearrange scenes or entire chapters of their text. In addition, you can skip to the note you have entered in some players (characters), or sites, in addition to data for the monitoring of communications, research and challenges.
The center is the point of the section and, indeed, write the text. The bottom of the box, the characteristics and nature live word count, which are great for anyone who seeks to achieve specific objectives. Our favorite is an integrated monitoring and control of words, pages or minutes of writing, which can be a great motivation for lazy writers. And if you are easily distracted, full-screen mode is ideal for blocking everything, but his intelligence applications.
The right of the interface StoryMill contains metadata about all the different scenes, chapters, and other notes and text in your project. The marking feature is useful for the allocation of bits of arbitrary text labels, and in conjunction with the Smart Display as a Smart Playlist in iTunes, which allows you to navigate and find exactly what you want in a long text. And since the individual scenes may be affected at times, a panorama of time can help you see how the story progresses, even if the script is not found in a linear fashion.
StoryMill can produce text to your Word and easily in the various formats of text, despite being a bit put off by the fact that the application stores the text essentially a database, making it difficult to open your project file in a text editor, if something goes beside himself, although often the manual text exports StoryMill May mitigate this problem. And we lost a maintenance of the system from multiple editions of a scene or chapter. But the database as the functions of monitoring players, local and other information about his writing is extremely useful to manage the details of the projects along.
