<h2>Created by a novelist who needed the same calm.</h2>

<p>

PlotDirector was built while writing a real novel, because spreadsheets, scattered notes and half-finished planning documents weren't enough.

|
|
It is not trying to turn writing into admin. It is there to keep the admin from eating the writing.
