    This does indded seem like a useful program. I think I will grab it myself.

    @Gandwarf-- How would one go about having portraits of main characters comissioned? I am a very visual oriented writer and I am finding portraits to be an absolute necessity.

    If you want faces then just skim through magazines and catalogues and cut out faces from there that resemble what you imagine and then you can use them as a visual aid. I've got a stack of photos cut from film magazines that I can use as reference.

    I thought that Liquid program looked good as well but not being a full blown writer myself I figured I wouldn't waste my 30 day trial but if it keeps going until you leave it alone for 30 days that's another story.

    I did look in the Open Source world for anything that might help a writer organize his data and from my uneducated perspective thought yWriter5 looked good.

    I figured it might at least help me to organize my gaming campaigns so I downloaded it. It was created by an author who is also a software developer so it could be good. There was also a published author who uses yWriter5 and she describes how she uses it in a little video.

    Heh, grabbed that one too now.

    Thanks for that. It sounds really quite useful too. Hopefully one of these programs will allow me to untangle the knotted threads of my plot and allow me to continue work on it.

    Sorry now for the tripple post, but I went on vacation with my Brother and my woman and am trapped by snow storms and such, so I'm away for a bit longer than I anticipated. However, I find myself curious as to whether or not I properly introduced my project and/or sketches/desire for input, as I've not recieved any on the sketches I put up over the last few days now. Does the guild just frown on terrible sketches?
