Plan Your Books The Way You Think

Plottr lets you easily arrange (and rearrange) your scenes, plots, and character arcs so you can quickly find your way to the end of your tale — no corkboard required. Plottr automatically generates a clean outline of your story for you to review, edit, and export as the basis of your manuscript. You don’t have to start from scratch. Plottr comes with over a dozen templates (and counting) based on proven storytelling structures to help move your story from idea to execution. The fun is just beginning. Once you've finished outlining your story, Plottr makes it easy to start writing — just export your files and let your creative muscles get to work!

  • tengo tiempo utilizando audacity al rededor de tres o cuatro años y a mi ver es una aplicación que es fácil de utilizar y a la vez te guía sobre lo que quieres hacer soy aficionado a la música y mi pasatiempo favorito es grabar es como un jovi para mi. Sin fines lucrativos ya que mis grabaciones son personales y como dije es un desestres que tengo he buscado otras aplicaciones y nada mejor que se acomode a mi que audacity .
