As I'm sure a few of you know, I tend to have a thing for software, especially free software that brings extra tools for writing. I just recently came across an interesting piece of freeware.
It's similar to the program yWriter that I've mentioned before, as you write in scenes which you can move around like note cards if you want to reorganize them later. It also allows you to keep a database of locations, characters, and such. One thing this does that I haven't seen in yWriter yet is that it allows you to organize them by plot lines if you have several different plots being woven together.
I've been playing around with it and it looks useful, though until I try writing with it (maybe for NaNoWriMo?), I won't know how much of a learning curve it has. I've noticed it tracks a lot of different statistics and also allows you to give dates to your scenes to order them chronologically.
Here's the website if any of you guys are interested in checking it over: storybook.intertec.ch/joomla/
