JUNE'S MONTHLY EXPERIMENT ๐พ๐ป
- Test & compare WORLD-BUILDING software. (World Anvil, Campfire, Chronographer, Kanka, etc.) 52
- Test & compare TIMELINE/PLOTTING software. (Ex: Aeon Timeline, Plottr, Scrivener, etc.) 89
This month's writing experiment is inspired by Project Death Draft 5! Before starting the rewrite, I knew I needed to focus on several things:
I've done most of these on my own, either brainstorming by hand or dragging and dropping in Scrivener & Campfire....
BUT
I thought, wouldn't it be fun to play around with a bunch of different software? Test it out and see what works for me, maybe even learn some new hacks in my current software (as I joke that I only know 5% of Scrivener's capabilities).
A lot of times, I learn/realize new things simply by LOOKING at them in a different way. And I am ready for ALL the epiphanies.
So please let me know which you'd be more interested in: testing out world-building software or testing out plotting software!?
A QUICK NOTE: Several of these options I listed do BOTH world-building and plotting (and let you draft) -- which is very cool. I just sorta grouped them in what they seem to help with most? But that might be something I learn along the way!
I would also loooooove if you could let me know what YOU use to help you plot/draft/build your world. etc. I'm debating playing around with Notion & OneNote too since a lot of people organize their story that way.
And please let me know if you'd prefer individual videos testing these out rather than grouping them into one comparison video. :)
Thanks y'all and happy writing!!
