yWriter5 5.0.6.2

yWriter5 5.0.6.2 lets you easily re-order your scenes. You can temporarily take scenes out altogether if you don't think they fit anywhere, and you won't lose them if you change your mind about it and want to pop them back.

yWriter also does automatic backups of your work as you're writing, plus it automates the final save when you exit out of it. (You would think I wouldn't fall prey to this after so many years of working with software, but I STILL manage to close files without saving my work!) It also creates automatic zip files of the entire project, by date.

yWriter also allows you to print out a variety of scene reports and summaries. If you maintain the scene titles and descriptions to match the content of each scene, you can even generate a synopsis of your novel. There are also two types of work schedule which tell you how much to do each day to meet your deadline: one expressed as a number of words to write, the other showing how many scenes to convert from outline to draft, draft to first edit, and so on. There's no setting up involved - just remember to update the status of each scene as you apply edits. (E.g. convert a scene from 'Draft' to '1st Edit')

yWriter isn't a word processor program like Word. Word processors are as much about formatting a document as they are about writing a document. yWriter uses the Rich Text Format with rudimentary text formatting (cut and paste operations, italics, caps, bold) but no more than that. This actually frees you up to worry about your characters and plot, and of course, tracking your progress with the word count.
