![]() Plottr is a visual story plotting tool, a book planning software for writers that allows you to set up your story’s timeline, outlines, and set some other features before you begin the actual writing of your story. You can improve in various areas of your writing such as grammar, vocabulary, character development, formatting, et cetera. These apps come with specific tasks that can also help improve your overall writing. Some apps are designed to help through every stage of story writing-from planning to the final draft of your novel. Having this type of automated feedback is more efficient than having a person play this role because the apps are never late and they never forget (Well, unless there’s a glitch or an error in their code). Planning apps like Story Planner play the role of a virtual task manager and provide feedback that helps you keep track of what scenes you plan to write next. From there, you can go straight into your word processing app and practice what you’ve learned. Something as simple as Lose the Very can improve your vocabulary in just moments. While waiting for the bus, you can use websites and apps that help improve your prose. Story planning apps such as Story Planner App are available on mobile devices (i.e., tablets and smartphones), allowing you to work on your manuscript and improve your writing anywhere, anytime. Not only do these apps save you time and energy, but they also inspire new ideas, especially the ones with mind maps. I agree with those who say that it feels legit writing using pen and paper, but planning software is faster and more organized. Some writers prefer planning their story on a piece of paper, but that is a stone-age and inefficient way of going about it. Most often, writing is a slow process, even slower when you do not plan the story well.
