Build an app collection

Now that you have an app to help you plan your novel you can either look at alternatives or collect some more apps that will be needed to get you started. You will need to find the best writing environment for your style, a research app of some kind to keep your documents together, and a myriad of other tools.

1 A one-stop shop

The Ulysses app could be an option if you are looking for one solution to cover your writing, organisation, publishing and editing. It is a very powerful subscription-based tool.

2 Keep your focus

There are many apps, including Write…, that offer a simple interface for you to write without distraction. We cannot emphasis how important this can be for your creativity.

3 Remember everything

Your Mac’s Stickies app lets you keep info onscreen at all times, even when you are writing and researching your novel. You want to build an effortless writing environment.
