Helped a lot in my work!. I found it very helpful as it gave the option of separately saving work as chapter as well as giving facilities such as spell and grammar checker along with the word count.
Best software ever.. I've been using this software since I was 17. It is simply AWESOME if you want to get into creative writing. It doesn't have the resources you would expect from a regular text editor, like bold and italic for example, but that's precisely what makes this software so great. You write on it just like you would write on real paper. And it has resources that allow you to split your story into chapters, notes, outlines, characters... Perfect. Pros: Pretty much everything. Cons: I don't think anything is missing. It is a little bit complicated to get the hang of it at first, but when you do, you realize how awesome the software is.
Perfect for collecting ideas together. . This is like a mind map but with little icons marking the points of the map. I spent some time having fun with the themes, and creating my own, which is easy to do if you follow the instructions given in the program folder. It's not really suited to writing an entire novel within this program, but is great for gathering together ideas for characters, action, scenes etc to put in your novel. The resulting notes become text files withing the project's folder. From this, an outline slowly emerges. The outline can then be created in a Word Processor, while referring to Papel. Think of it as a replacement for all those scraps of paper with ideas scribbled on them, which you inevitably lose. As soon as you note an idea in a notebook/back of an envelope, or wherever, ensure that you get to your computer ASAP and put the ideas into Papel before you lose them. Pros: Great for collecting project ideas together in a visual form. Prevents losing any thoughts of genius you may have had. Cons: I've never got to grips with the more complex aspects of the program such as the compilations. Haven't needed them.Playing with the icons could be viewed by some as wasted time. It would be great if more themes came with the program.
