I tried 22 writing tools for fiction authors—so you don’t have to

I’ve tested 22 writing tools—yeah, almost all of them—so you don’t have to. Let's create profiles, look inside, and see what I see. What works, what’s clunky, what’s beautiful, and what just doesn’t cut it if you’re someone like me—an author writing multiple novels and building massive worlds. Get the notes and links: https://legendfiction.substack.com/p/...

I don’t pretend to be neutral. If something’s awkward, too busy, or just not designed for the way real writers work, I’ll tell you. From Obsidian to Novelcrafter to tools you’ve probably never even heard of, we’re walking through the pros, cons, prices, and quirks.

If you’re tired of downloading and ditching apps, maybe this helps. Or at least saves you some time.
