First time I'm leaving feedback on VT, just felt I needed to for this program. I've toyed with Scrivener and StoryMill, but Jer's Novel Writer runs circles around them. The new version is very stable, lots of the little bugs have been cleaned up.

The best thing I can say about it is that it makes me want to write! Having a program this full-featured and helpful gives me that little added excitement to sit down and throw some words "on paper."

Everyone should give this a shot, and give Jerry some props (and donations.)

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!

Even if you just use this for a word processor (it opens Word files and it's 1.1 MB) then you need this app.

I write both original fiction and fanfiction and this allows me to keep track of any and all items I need to keep track of. I've even gone so far as to post this on the Make Believe Yahoo group and say "You must get this!!!"

So basically saying "You must get this!!!!!!!!!!!!"
