EVERYONE HAS A STORY

Microsoft Office is a suite of business and personal tool much like google documents. It is very refined and has a lot of functionality. I tried doing a writing project a couple years ago using it and I failed. It was lacking (or I was) some key organisational skills. I would not call it a writing suite but if you had to use it you could.

​

Google documents is a (mostly) online cloud based advanced word processor that is part of a web based office suite offered by google as part of google drives. You will need to setup a free google drive to use this service.

yWriter is a completely free writing suite developed by Simon Haynes. The current version is yWriter6 with yWriter7 in beta. It is also one of the few writing suits that has developed a version for Linux. It doesn't pack the punch that scrivener does, but it will allow you to organize your thoughts using a scene based approach to writing. I found it easy to use but it was lacking some organizational tool.

My personal choice, for all my writing, is scrivener. It is, in my opinion, and after much research, it is the best all-around writer's software on the market. It isn't free but it is affordable and they offer a 30-day trial. so you can try it out before you commit. It also comes with a well thought out tutorial that will have you up and running in no time at all. Note, this software supports Windows, macOS, and IOS
