Power Writer (Novel and Fiction Writing Software)

A Story Processor for Creative Writers? What a NOVEL idea! Imagine a word processing software console integrated with formatting, outlining and story development tools designed specifically for fiction writers. Imagine having every plot point, note, research, story idea, character info, AND your main text right there at your finger tips. Or, if you want to just be alone with your main text you can do that too, but it's all there, ready and waiting. You'll be amazed how Power Writer can manage the diverse elements of a monumental project with simplicity and ease of use.
Customer Review: Somewhat dated
Purchased this 2 years ago. The support crew at the time said a new version was "on the doorstep" but nothing on that since then. This program is pretty dated. It has some nice features, but really lacks the pieces that would make it much better than the word processors that just about everyone now has already. In particular, the program does not have any tools that track story timelines (promised in new version). The tools that it does have - like outlining and areas to store character data - can be fairly easily reproduced using features in standard word processors like Microsoft Word. I can not recommend the product in it's current version. Maybe if that new version would ever materialize...
Customer Review: Great software and fun too!
I ABSOLUTELY love this software, and while others are close to it, this one is far more superior. It has alot of different functions and makes writing notes easy, checking off plot points easy, and organizing extremely easy. If you are unorganized, this is perfect for you! The only problems I've faced are little glitches and bugs in the software here and there, but whenever I email, they do get to them and fix them. Because of this, it's important to get the new updates off the web whenever you get the chance. I do wish they had a troubleshooting section also, but overall this is a great program!! I would highly recommend it for both beginners and more advanced writers like myself. Just remember to go through the tutorials before you use it or it tends to get a bit frustrating.


Increasingly churches are looking to automate some of their routine administration. Several software packages have been developed to support the administration role of the church office.

Choosing the right administration software for your church office is a major decision, particularly as many churches are operating on a limited budget. You will need to consider carefully just what you require and what future requirements you may have.

Software has now been developed to manage every aspect of your church administration such as contribution records, membership tracking, tithes and contributions, attendance tracking, church accounting, financial analysis, growth planning and even your web site.

Church Accounting - In addition to the standard accounting packages, software is available to integrate with your membership information and to track contributions and pledges.

Church Membership - A range of software is available to manage new church plants to churches with thousands of members or attendees.. These specially designed database systems can be designed to integrate with church scheduling, event management, visits or simply to integrate with Word, Excel and Outlook.

Church Growth - Managing successful church growth requires the right tools to enable you to keep track of visitors, create an automatic follow-up system and plan, organize, and evaluate your events.
