I'm glad you liked it and thanks for your super detailed comment 🙂
The last I looked at it, it was US$40 as well, but that's more expensive than any other writing software I've used over the years. I always used free versions of the expensive programs you mention (gimp instead of Photoshop and Google docs or libre Office instead of word). And then when you take into account the exchange rate to Australian dollars, it's about $100 for a program that I found counterintuitive and awkward to use. For perspective, that $100 is a AAA game, or my week's groceries and back when I was looking it was also one week's rent. Too much for my poor blood.
Thank you for sharing! I know I asked for this since I was curious and had never heard of it before. It looks cool! I also play D&D so double usage there. I'm glad you found something that works best for you! I'll check it out.
While I probably won't switch over to it entirely, I wanted to have resources available in case and to help spread the word to others!
Personally I do use Scrivener. I can see why it's complicated for newer users or those with less experience using complicated programs. So I understand that.
I'm surprised you find it expensive though... Maybe the price has gone up significantly? I got it for about $40 in 2018 and it's a lifetime license so I've never had an issue updating and never paid subscription money. When most programs cost like 100-300 a year (cough Adobe, cough Word) a 40 one time fee for a lifetime license was worth it for me.
For another free option I absolutely LOVE Notion and use it for organizing more than writing. Notion is complicated though... Maybe I love complicated programs 😂😂
Oh, I also use Notion, but I use it for non fiction, so apart from comments, all of substack writings are done in Notion. It's good, but it's not made for creative writing the way Lore Forge is.
