You know those things that you let sit cause you either forget about them or you think you don’t have time, and then you realize over 6 months have passed, so you wonder if you should keep your word or not do it at all and hope everyone forgot…?
I promised PG Holyfield that I’d put his review of the software yWriter from the Nanomonkeys podcast in my feed. A long time ago. And now I’m doing it. Sorry it’s late, PG!
EDIT Feb 17, 2009 – the Nanomonkeys site expired and was snatched up by a porn site, so we recommend not searching for this podcast.
Share and Enjoy!

Hey Mur, It’s worth the effort. The program is pretty simple and has all the functions you would expect to pay for but it’s free. Simon Haynes, Author of the Hal Spacejock series of humorous Sci-fi novels wrote the program. He has quite a few other free programs on his site too. Sonar is a submission tracking program that keep you on top of who you have sent what to and when to send up that follow-up letter.

Should this have shown up in my iTunes subscription feed? I’m very interested to see what PG Holyfield has to say about yWriter, but I’m sad to say I didn’t receive this in the feed. Is there somewhere I can go to manually download it? Thanks in advance!
I’m looking at yWriter now for an idea I’ve been kicking around. Short stories don’t seem to fit well with yWriter, but the big ones with lots going on, definately. hhhmmm… Wish I knew someone who’d used it for a story and had an example .yw4 file I could glance at…
