Five Open Source Apps For Writers and Authors by Lisa Hoover - Jul. 17, 2009Comments (9) Even if you have the perfect idea for the next Great American Novel, getting it down on paper is never easy. While you could always use standard word processors like OpenOffice Write or AbiWord, they don't have the bells and whistles that make writing books, manuals, and theses as easy as possible. Fortunately, there are a few open source applications that help budding authors get stories out of their heads and into the hands of readers. Kabikaboo - This recursive writing assistant is perfect for managing large documents, technical manuals, and long novels. Storybook - Any author or novelist will tell you writing a book is a complicated affair. Celtx - Many scriptwriters swear by Celtx, and with good reason. LyX - If you do a lot of academic writing, theses, or scientific papers, Lyx will make sure the structure of your documents meets formal acceptance requirements.
PageFour - Software for Novelists and Creative Writers - Tabbed Because it's NOT a business product. Because it doesn't dazzle you with 1001 features that you'll never use.

PageFour is a tabbed word processor, outliner, and organizer for writers. Create a separate Notebook for each novel and another for your Blog or Journal. New in 2013! << Visit the SmartEdit Website >> << Read Reviews of SmartEdit from Published Authors >> SmartEdit is a new product from Bad Wolf Software, with no links to PageFour. Smart-Edit - Scan for over used phrases and words PageFour's Smart-Edit works as a starting point when you begin to edit your work. Lists words and phrases that occur again and again. The decision as to what to do, or if indeed anything needs to be done, is always left to the writer.
everypoet.com How I Use Mindmapping to Write I use lots of tools for writing. The other day, I talked about the importance of writing practice. Today, as I’m working on a new speech, I wanted to share another tool I use: mind mapping. Before you ask, because the technology minded of you often do, this particular mindmapping software is called Mind Node and it’s for Mac. There are plenty of tools for Windows and some that operate online. I think Steve Rubel covered some a while back, but I’m too lazy to Bing the exact title. The way I use mindmaps is that I start with my main idea, and then figure out the “branches” I’ll want to talk about. So, in this case, I just add a few ideas. Mind maps are a great tool for getting your jumbly thoughts into a framework. What happens, often, when we write, is that we look at sentences as this whole big thing. That’s where mind maps excel (or one place where mind maps excel). What about you? ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Genesis Framework Become a StudioPress Affiliate

We'll accomplish this through something called macros, which are programmable shortcut buttons. Ad Steps 1Setup your work. Ad Tips I would recommend printing these instructions to streamline the process.Less often used screenwriting devices can be punched in manually (such as FADE IN:).Page numbers can be accomplished by selecting the Insert tab, then Page numbers, then Top of Page, and Plain Number 3. Warnings For anyone trying to make their own macros: Before recording the macro, all the setting that you want it to accomplish should be reversed or off (for example, we made the indentations narrow before reversing it while recording the macro).Word is pretty annoying about corrections, I would recommend disabling this function during the writing process.
