::I must say, I have not seen [http://hiveword.com/ Hiveword] mentioned much. It is rather new I think. It is a free cloud based novel planning program, and I love it! [http://litlift.com LitLift] seems to have the same idea, but I haven't quite got the hang of it. Hiveword is very easy to use and I like the look of it, inspiring somehow, maybe it is colors they use. I wish they would expand it into a Scrivener type program... I have the free trial of Schrivener for windows, but it just isn't helping me, need to play with it some more I guess. I watched some tutorials by Rosepetals1984 on You Tube on Liquid Story Binder (there are quite a few tutorials there) and that seems like the ticket to me, once you learn to use it. I have looked through this forum and so far have complied quite a list of programs that are out there, many of which are free.
