What it is, is a creation of XML files (mostly XHTML) all zipped up together. A list of devices that support the ePub format is at wikiMobileRead. What is ePub? Well, from what I found out, ePub is short for “electronic publication” and it’s a format that allows eReaders like Barnes & Nobles Nook and Sony Reader to read it.
#STORYIST VS STORYMILL SOFTWARE#
Maybe the standard might be epub (something I just recently found out about a few weeks ago while researching on the web to find some kind of software that, with a push of a button, it would recreate my books to whatever format the publisher wanted). I’m hoping a standard format will come soon, because it’s been a pain to re-format my books to each, individual publisher’s requirements. It’s taken months in between to figure out where I wanted to send my books and if I wanted to do the formatting for them and when to do all of it.

So now I have four (4) versions of my book: 1) HTML format, 2) Kindle format, 3) PDF format and 4) Smashword format. They require a Microsoft Word format using Bookmarks and Hyperlinks for the Table of Contents. I’ve took the time to reformat my books to Smashwords submission process.

#STORYIST VS STORYMILL HOW TO#
Tags: how to use yWriter during NaNoWriMo Maybe I’ll reach the 50,000 word count in some future time as when I first participated in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005.
It stuck in my head, and I decided to give it a try for 2010, and I did it again this year. My local ML said to me in 2009 to just participate for the writing and that I didn’t have to really reach the 50,000 word count. Last year, I believe I only wrote about 3,000 words during the month of NaNoWriMo. But I participated because it helps me, and I met my goal to add at least 10,000 more words to my current novel Creations. Yep, I wasn’t going to complete the 50,000 word count…at all.

It’s awesome, and I did show my much appreciate by donating…because it’s FREE you know 🙂īefore I go, if you noticed, I don’t have Winner! as my picture for this blog, but just Participate. It has REALLY helped me with getting around my novel, knowing what characters are in what scenes, what items are used, where I use certain locations in the scenes…EVERYTHING, that I think a writer needs. The green bar gives my status on my goal. I put a Start Date for and an End Date of Februfor 75,000 words. The picture below, is just some kind of estimate that I’m most likely am NOT going to reach, but I added it in there anyway. You can also set a target of when to complete your novel and it’s word count. The word count goes all the way down to the very beginning of the start of the project (which I don’t show in the picture, but you get the idea). Notice my Zero counts on the first three rows (Dec 4, Dec 2, and Nov 29). In the picture, it also tracks the days you just open up the software and didn’t do anything. There’s an ongoing, running tally of your word count under: TOOLS > DAILY PROGRESS LOG (picture below). I wanted to share how to use yWriter with NaNoWriMo for those of you, like me, who wanted to know, but just didn’t look hard enough for the answer. I was busy looking at the bottom of the yWriter window and trying to jot down the “Added Today” word count into a Excel spreadsheet instead of looking around the software to find a much easier way to see what I wrote for every day of my novel project. As mentioned earlier, I missed out on the feature during the November time-frame. Also, I heard that it’s programmer used it specifically for NaNoWriMo as well. This year, since I’ve been using yWriter on all new materials now, I wanted to use it’s word count to keep track of my progress. The ML also coordinate write-ins where you meet up and all write together. People chat on forums, meet-up with fellow writers in their local areas, orchestrated by the local Municipal Liaison (ML) who volunteer to help cheer people on to their goals to reaching the 50,000 word mark. This activity has helped me with two novels in the past and with the almost completion of the 3rd novel of The Calling series. No worries of spelling, or grammar, or plot, or character names, or anything that gets a writer hung up. It’s a self-perseverance experience to help those, like me, who need that extra help and reminder to… JUST WRITE. What’s NaNoWriMo? For those who don’t know, it’s National Novel Writing Month where participants take on the challenge to write 50,000 words (approximately 175 page novel) by writing from November 1 and end on 11:59:59, November 30. Of course I figured out AFTER THE FACT (after NaNoWriMo) how to use yWriter during NaNoWriMo.
