Here is a quick guide on how to download an install Storyist.  This is intended for those who recently switched to a Mac.

Got a new iMac.  Video below.

Storyist 2.0 has been out for a bit now.  I must say I really like it.  In a comparison of writing software, I’d have to say Storyist is for Plotters or Formatters.

The application is great for writing.  It has a clean interface, and helps you work on whatever your writing and focus.

The strong points of Storyist are the main editor and the different “plotting” sheets.

The main editor is nice and big.  It shows you how your text will look when formatted and keeps the text formatted.  All text you enter will have a style applied.  You can tab through the different styles if needed.  This is great in some cases, but some people might feel that it is limiting or distracting.  I think it is a strong point if you have a good idea on what you want to create.

The “plotting” sheets are another piece of awesomeness.  There are note sheets for characters, sections, and the plot.  If you’re a “plotter,” this’ll allow you to come up with some order for your novel.  It’ll also allow you to remember the small details.  Since you can also view these as index cards in a split-view, it’s quite helpful.
