At the limit, you might need a wiki-like tool to keep track of characters, places, events, chronology, if*AND I SAY IF* you book is something like a crime thriller with a complicated plot. But then most authors seem to get along fine with a paper notebooks and some index cards.
I assumed the work was to be more technically oriented for some reason. There are a several commercial packages used by writers of novels and such for plot and character management. You can tell these works, because the often have way more characters in the plot than is necessary to tell the story, and the spend way too much time developing the characters of non-essential characters. These are the favorite tools of the formula novelists that crank out a book every 6 months. Basically if the Author's name is printed larger on the cover than the title of the novel, you are in this ballpark. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
