Novelrunner vs WriteDown: Write Books, Novels Usage & Stats

Novelrunner is an opinionated, structured way to write a novel, using a storytelling structure based on serialized television. NEW in version 2.0: Novelrunner+ subscribers can access an AI writing critic and editor when they provide an OpenAI API key. When you start a project, you give Novelrunner the following pieces of information, and it creates a project template for you: * Title * Genre * Word count (Novelrunner will suggest a word count based on your genre, but you are free to change it) * Pace (How quickly does your plot move?) * Color (Pick a nice color for your project) Based on the above information, Novelrunner will create an appropriate amount of "Episodes" with a target word count for each. Reach the target word count for each episode, and you will reach your target word count for your novel! EPISODES An episode is made up of scenes. A good serialized television series will be made up of scenes that advance the show's overall plot and establish a satisfying story arc for the individual episode. Television writers typically like to end an episode in a way that entices viewers to want to watch the next one. Likewise, think about creating your episodes the same way, creating a page-turner that your readers can't put down. The goal of Novelrunner is to invent a narrative that continually captivates readers to continue reading. When examining your novel episodically, consider the starting and ending points of your characters and the hooks you've used to make readers want to know what happens next. TARGET WORD COUNTS Television shows are typically about the same length each episode–usually either 30 minutes or an hour. Likewise, keeping your novel episodes a uniform length is good. This gets readers into a routine and ensures the plot doesn't lag in long sections. Novelrunner suggests an episode word count target. Don't worry if you don't make the target or go over; it's merely a suggestion. EXPORT AND SUBMIT When you have completed your novel, Novelrunner can export your novel as a complete, compiled work in RTF manuscript format. From there, you can edit as you please, split it into chapters as you see fit, and add any additional personal information.
