I've been trying to find something like this for a very long time. How did you find it?

Thank you for posting it. *hugs*

I found it completely by accident, actually. I'm glad you like it!

http://www.baara.com/q10/ <------ a full screen writing program that has sounds of a typewriter.

http://www.salsbury.f2s.com/rd.htm <----that's a freeware program that was invented for screen writers but its also very useful for novel writers as well.

http://www.sequencepublishing.com/thesage.html <-----English dictionary and thesaurus


Thanks to Galatea ti'wari I ended up finding these freeware programs, I was sparked to look for other freeware for writers and these three are what I found. I hope you all enjoy.

-Ink

P.s. If anyone else finds anything other then these please pm and let me know what you find. :D

You people are awesome! :) The only writing software I can find you have to pay for. Actually, I did find something but it wasn't very useful and I think I deleted it. If I find it again, I'll post it. :)

I love writing software. I can't get used to that yWriter thing though. :(

Aw, boo. None of them are compatible with Mac.

If you use Mac, here is a list of writing software to look into. Handily, there's also a list of Windows software at the bottom. However, most of the links are a free trial, after which you have to pay. It's kind of a pain, but I think Scrivener is worth it (and they have a student discount).

I love StickIt 3.0.
It's like PostIt notes, only on your computer desktop. Google it. It's free :P.
I waste so much paper writing notes to myself... this is better... yeah... I'm tired...

"Text Block Writer" is sort of like that, but it simulates index cards rather than post-its. You can write things on cards and then shuffle them around. It's good for outlining and general notes, fantastic if you're into worldbuilding. It's from Software By Brian, but it looks like his server is messed up at the moment, so I can't post a link. Google it, hopefully it's back up by the time you read this. :D

They sound like awesome ideas! I'm going to try that Stick-It note thingy the next time I get the chance. :)

Wow, I can't believe I'm being bombarded (in a good way) by all these amazing sites! Thanks!
