yWriter 5.2.0.5-Good alternative text editor for writers

When you're trying to work on a novel or another type of large writing
project, basic word editing programs just don't cut it. With a typical
writing program, you either need to save your novel by individual chapters or
as one large chunk of a document. Either way, it's inconvenient and not ideal
for organizing your ideas. *yWriter* simplifies the process of organizing
your writing projects. yWriter allows you to create separate folders for your
individual projects. From there, you can take organization one step further
and divide each project into separate chapters. yWriter isn't just about
writing the main body of your project though. You can also store notes about
*characters*, *locations*, *items* and *scenes*. In addition, yWriter will
keep a tally of the number of words you've written in your entire project, as
well in separate chapters or scenes. Another nice thing about yWriter is that
it offers a *project wizard* that is quite helpful for people who are new to
the program. In addition, there is an option to perform weekly checks for
newer versions of yWriter, so you will be informed the moment the next
version becomes available. Unfortunately, yWriter's interface is a little
plain, especially compared to other text editing programs like Scrivener. Its
features, however, match up quite nicely to other similar writing tools. *For
aspiring writers who need a free and effective way to organize projects,
yWriter is a good choice.*Download *yWriter 5.2.0.5* in Softonic
