Thanks for your comments. I’m not a fiction writer….yet! Right now, using a character web seems daunting, but I know it actually simplifies the writing process.

Snowflake Pro is a great program. So easy to get to grips with, yet very effective.

I had no idea there were software applications for brainstorming and creativity. I have mind mapping software but this seems a whole different idea and could be very useful. I am going to check out Snowflakepro as it sounds really good and useful.

I use Randy Ingermanson’s Snowflake Pro 1.0.3 for all of my writing, from the planning stages to the final draft. It’s some really fantastic stuff, and super simple to use

I have this book and the others from Writer’s Digest on writing, too. I like them, you can learn a lot by reading them.

I’ve never heard of Snowflake Pro — thanks for that tip, Delena.

And I’m glad you liked Hope’s character web ideas…isn’t she great?

A character web. I like it! =)

I use Randy Ingermanson’s Snowflake Pro 1.0.3 for all of my writing, from the planning stages to the final draft. It’s some really fantastic stuff, and super simple to use, but I’m still a visual person and like to have all of my maps, notes, and doodles on notepads where I can see them. My desk is always littered with papers!

But I’ve never thought of a character web before, of actually mapping out my characters and their relationships like that. I’m going to give it a go with my current project. It’s my biggest yet, and sometimes even I forget everyone involved!
