[writing / world building / recs ] if you're looking for something to write on + world building on I have to say I really dig living writer
LivingWriter

Not only do they have a bunch of manuscript styles you can choose from as templates which is neat, and you can set statuses for chapters, have the ability to write chapters as parts and let you arrange them with as many sub categories as you might need !

aka this is my long form non-fiction book I am writing on the history of dogs

it has an option called "boards" which let you group your plotting, world building, research and just other stuff you might need to organize

Here is where I set out notable world events for Gilia's world history that I can I have set to free form grid so that I can move things where I want, and I can zoom in and out of to see

or you can have just a standard grid with multiple columns to build out of

for research you can place shit into sub groupings as well:

Thank you so much for this. I spent a good chunk of today talking world-building with bestie, so I forwarded it, and he's excited

it is a $$ service, but its $10 a month and for me thats pretty reasonable for what it lets me do and how much i am using it

tldr i hate writing in google docs and i need to group too much stuff

The visual/graphic manipulation ability is really powerful

do you know their policy on keeping the texts that ppl write? I'm thinking how like, every other website wants to grab what ppl write + images we upload to throw them into AI generator databases

they have just incorporated an AI filter but its only basing it off of your own text because I feel that about :/ AI generated shit

"Unlike many popular AI, LivingWriter AI stores no content related to your chapters or elements. We do not train our AI with your manuscripts, words, elements, or anything else you put into LivingWriter."

that's excellent thank you!
