So, for Christmas my mother is getting me some writing software. I have downloaded the trial versions of both Power Writer and WriteWay. It’s a tough call.
At first I was leaning toward Power Writer. A friend of mine recommended it and it is pretty straightforward. It also has a nice tutorial to get you up and running, but one thing I don’t like about it is that you can’t print the character sheets. I emailed the company, and they said it was in the works, but not until next year some time. FYI: at that time it will be a major upgrade, so costs may increase, but sounds like a number of things may change.
What I didn’t like about WriteWay was that I don’t find it intuitive and there aren’t any real tutorials. There is a help section, but I think it could be easier to navigate. And there are “sample” books for you to look at which might be helpful. But it has a lot more to it than Power Writer. I’m just not sure if that is good or bad yet.
Anyway, I’m trying them both out and I’ll let you know what I decide. Anyone out there have more experience with them?
