Do you still use Word for writing books / novels?

[AlwaysCurious]

There seem to be lots of people around here, that aim to write a book be it business related, scientifiy articles or novels. I recently stumbled upon an impressive tool, that supports an important stage of a book. It's about the planning and outlining of storys, helping to develop characters, theses or plots and therefore supporting a top down aproach that I personally rate indispensable. This is quite special and far beyond MS Word's capabilites.

Try yWriter (WinXP)

Btw there is a short review on makeuseof as well: yWriter - A Word Processor For Creative Writing | MakeUseOf.com

Currently I play a lot with it and am tempted to start a bigger project with it's help. Oh, one more thing: It is free :smug2:
