Summary: yWriter was designed by author and programmer Simon Haynes, who apparently saw the same needs I saw in my own writing life and was able to use his programming expertise to put together one humdinger of a program. yWriter in the quintessential organizer for writers. It allows you to see your scenes, chapters, characters, settings - and just about anything else you can think of - all at a glance. As an extensive outliner, I've found it particularly helpful in organizing my mountains of eventually undecipherable scrawl into neat, easily accessible notes.
