Jer's Novel Writer - 1.1.4

I came across this program on random chance (I was searching for something completely different), and it caught my eye. I have to say that it has been a blessing! I'm one of those people who likes things organized, and in my own, let's say, unique, way. Jer's Novel Writer gives me that freedom - or iron-fisted control, depending on how you look at it. It has just about everything I need, and it's all right there, ready for me to use, and easy to see. Great stuff!

My only suggestion is maybe a goal meter? Sometimes I write for goals or word counts, so it might be neat to have an optional goal meter at the top where I can obsess over it (yes, obsession makes me write more ... I'm a strange creature).

That being said, it isn't a must, and the program is lovely as it is! Great job Jer!!!

So try it out!

I write novels, long sf/fantasy novels. Most programs bog down under a huge load, but with Jer's I have all three of my books (nearly 1,000,000 words) in one file and that's not counting the margin notes, database, notes section. I, too, have tried almost, if not all, of the writing programs out there and this is by far the best. Even better, Jer actually listens to suggestions. The margin notes are great, well thought out, but my favorite part is the database. Being able to keep track of all of my characters, places, weapons, etc. and have them right there handy is fantastic. Even more important is the nice feature he added to 'add to database' or 'add to description of in database'. This is the best thing I've seen in a writing program. In this way, when I'm describing a character I can immediately add that description to that character's database and never have to leave the program. Later, perhaps in the next book even, when I go back to that character, I can look up and see exactly how i described him/her the first time.

A wonderful notes section is also a nice feature.
