There is a lot of junk in the world. No doubt, you have seen some of it first hand. Today, it seems the bottom line for many businesses is “crank it out and the heck with how good it is” and ultimately the consumer is the one who suffers. This is especially true with software. If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt interested in purchasing fiction writing software. Well, before you spend one dime, you need to read this article. It just might save you a ton of aggravation.
Let me start off by saying this. Most software is nothing but bloated vaporware. 90% of the stuff that’s in it you’ll either never use or is so darn complicated to figure out that it’s not worth the effort. The basic things for any application can usually be packaged in something that is functional, to the point and uncomplicated. In other words…anybody can use it. And with writing software, something pretty basic, this should be the least you should expect from whatever you purchase. So don’t let yourself be taken in by a bunch of bells and whistles.
In addition to this, while it is true that you get what you pay for, you have to look at the environment in which you’re going to be using your software. In other words, how much do you REALLY need? If it’s just something basic, then get something basic. You’ll end up saving yourself a ton of money on something that’s going to maybe look very pretty but serve no useful purpose beyond those basics that you probably could have spent a hundred dollars less for. Don’t let the glitz cloud your judgment.
Finally, forget about what it says on the box about how it’s “so simple anybody can use it.” News flash…if you have no experience with using software, it doesn’t matter how simple it is. There is going to be a learning curve. Some software’s learning curve isn’t too bad, but for other’s…not so good. Some software is so darn complicated that you end up doing nothing but staring at the startup menu. Fortunately, most writing software is pretty easy and pretty intuitive.
Below you’ll find a review of a piece of fiction writing software that I think you will find meets all your needs without giving you a headache or a busted bank account in the process.

That's right, if you're writer on a budget, you don't need to spend any money buying expensive writing software or apps. Instead, you can use the text editor that comes free with your operating system.
Just open up Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on a Mac. I like plain text editors for writing something short quickly and easily, without thinking much about it. I wrote a blog post about the benefits of using plain text editors as writing software.
Use for: writing whatever, wherever
