Your novel is broken down into chapters, and these chapters consist in turn of “scenes”, the smallest unit of composition used by yWriter. YWriter has all the word-processing tools you need, but it’s structured in a completely different way to the average text editor. It’s been written by a published author, designed around his experiences and needs, and has been honed into the ultimate writing tool. What you need is a program that offers you all the editing capabilities of a word processor, but is geared towards the process of writing stories – and that program is yWriter. While tapping your story into a word processor is perfectly possible, keeping it organised can be a frustrating experience. For most people, a novel is made up of separate elements – chapters or scenes – that are moved around, rewritten and finally stitched together to make a coherent whole.

Writing a novel is never as simple as starting at the beginning and working your way through to the end.
