[Automatic Chapter Numbering/Renumbering]

Okay, here's another big time saver for me. I'd love for Storyist to automatically number and renumber my chapter titles. Specifically, I tend to write both in non-linear order, and really large chapters that I then cut down. So for example, when I first start writing, I may have 20 chapters in my book, but each chapter being huge. Then I go back and divide some of them into 3-4 chapters. I'd love if when I add a new chapter number, Storyist could automatically renumber all the subsequent chapters.

 

Thanks,

Yes! Seconded, and for the same reason.

Interesting. I can definitely see this as part of a larger statistical analysis feature for Storyist.

Seconded.

Good to hear from you LisaPS.

That is an interesting idea. You can use the search feature to identify the number of times you use a particular word—once you've identified a culprit (hint: all and little are two frequent crutches). But a feature to identify the words authors don't know they're overusing would indeed be useful. It would have to overlook certain categories of words, though (conjunctions, articles, pronouns—any others?).

Best,

Marguerite

I just made a rounded edge button for my blog - thought I'd share.

 

It works well in Firefox and Safari, but I haven't checked IE, and, uh, I probably won't.

Remember to save it to your own picture saving place - photobucket doesn't do well with high traffic.

I just used this on my new website. I checked it in IE and Netscape 7.0, as well. It displays, although IE does funny things to the page formatting and both load the graphics rather slowly.

 

Thanks, Steve and Calli!

 

Go visit the site, and if you know any agents/editors, tell them to visit it too. I'm still looking for a publisher....
