   I have been writing for many years. The only software I have ever used is Microsoft Word. Sorry but no software can make you a better writer. If you know how to use the advanced settings on Word, it does many things that will surprise you. Skip the software. It is the equivalent of buying a Humvee when all you need is a car. Instead invest in a couple good research books. A style book. A copy of The First Five Pages. A copy of On Writing. Writers Market. They will help you far more than any software ever will. Pax-C

   They have novel-writing software? Say it ain’t so!
   The greatest writers the world got along fine without this, and any good writer would never need it.

   You have a computer, I suspect, so use the included word processor. If you have logged in through an internet cafe type service, then paper and pen or typewriter are next best.

   Warrior, your best bet is to believe in your own talents as a writer & go with this. All great writers, just relay on four things

   1. imagination
   2. writing skills
   3. type writer / computer
   4.good editor

   Just use the word processor that comes with your computer. Like others have said, no softwear will make you a better writer.
