Great resource for writing/notes (Campfire)

5 posts in this topic

For your commonplace books,

This is a great little writing tool for writing any kind of book, rpg, resources, or whatever writing you do.

I've barley scratched the surface but there's a lot of potential; it's free to dabble in, looks fairly priced, and I feel that the people on this forum could do a lot with it. Leaving a link, give it a glance.

Interesting.

I prefer Scrivener

Not sure how I feel about them nickel and diming for every module, and having monthly limits on everything from word count to # of characters. It makes it really convoluted and difficult to figure out what you'll actually be paying.

I agree that I think I'd rather pay $50 for Scrivener one time and own it forever.

To lifetime purchase every Campfire module would cost you $375. I'm sure they have the numbers that a user will use X modules on average, for X number of months on average, and I'm guessing you'll end up paying more than $50 over the time that you use it.

For just manuscript, characters, timeline, research, locations at the lowest plans you're paying $5.25/month or $63/year. It might be okay to just get it for 1 month per year during NaNoWriMo, write a bunch, and then cancel.

I haven't tried Obsidian yet, but I think it might be a good free alternative to both. Especially if there are community-made templates you can download and use.

Overall it's not really my cup of tea anyway, I wouldn't really want to write pages of details for each character and refer back to it as I'm writing.

Humble Bundle has a NaNoWriMo writing bundle right now with a bunch of books on outlining, writing characters, dialogue writing, structuring your novel, character arcs, and other stuff.

Seems close enough to this topic that I thought I'd mention it here.

I'm not affiliated with it in any way, haven't even decided if I'm going to pick it up or not yet.

Nice, but i prefer https://obsidian.md/. It allows me to build a second brain for reference linking all my notes. And I like the graphic touch. 

Oh and it's free.
