How do you change the color of the connecting lines on the freeform grid?

So interesting to put a face to the name after listening to his Emperor of Japan audiobook. Very good narrator, he deserves the award.

How do you add a pAGE

Please dear god let me update this. It's horrific and doesn't represent anything close to what the software is capable of at this point. This is what I would hand people in an insider meeting to tell your support staff how to work with the software. This is terrible and I can't even follow it as a user. Let us help you

I keep fiddling with the element board and it does nothing. Please do a tutorial on this.

when creating a charactor the history isnt there to see

It would be best to have a voice over with all of your videos. It's difficult to try to read the instructions while also trying to see the example. Better to watch the example while listening to the instructions.

Hindi mother turn aveleble???

Do we get paid tho, do people read our books?

I agree with the previous comment. It doesn't even look like there is a shortcut way to get back to action or scene headings

can anyone explain the what is a subchapter and the purpose of it?

I'd like to see these tutorials get more into intent of the features vs just a click-and-show of the user interface. For example, when would I create subchapter? Example. How does the content of the chapter and subchapters combine to form the final output of the manuscript? Show an example.

LOL methinks you completely misunderstood what the word "infamous" actually means.

Really liking a lot with this app so far but it doesn't seem to be possible to have blank spaces in the standard grid anymore as shown in this video? There is only the plus sign beneath the card, you can't skip a space if you want to follow a timeline in another column for instance. This limitation makes it of little use as a tool for plotting, are you planning to bring that functionality back?

Please do a video tutorial on how the New>Outline feature is intended to work. Thank you.

You guys need to add an easier or more intuitive way to go from characters and dialogue back to action and scene headings.

Where do sections fit in? This appears to refer to an old version of the platform. :(

I just started using this, (literally last night) and I am in love with it. It almost makes me mad that I didn't hear about it sooner. I started really writing again in 2020, and spent 3yrs paying the about the same for Microsoft Office and not getting all these amazing novel writing centered features. I found other novel writing software felt really overwhelming and complex while this has been easy for me to jump in and use without spending hours on youtube. The freeform grid for plotting is EXACTLY what I've been looking for and needing for years! I do wish I could use the mouse wheel to zoom it in and out, but its a minor inconvenience. Like I said, I've only just begun using this but I'm already planning to drop my Microsoft sub in favor of this instead. So glad I found LivingWriter!!!

Looking for how to actually use Elements, Characters, Chapters etc. Not necessarily how to set up. Such as how to combine chapters once created and why sub-chapters and such would be created. The practical use of this program would be beneficial in help topics and videos.

This is pretty neat! Though It would be cool to be able to put a little text on the connection line between two elements. This would allow creating a quick overview of i.e. relationships across multiple characters or how they interact with another element etc.

Merge chapters? Change 'chapter' into 'sub-chapter' and so on?

This is a handy way of plotting that I never thought of trying and this tool makes it easy to do. My only gripe is that I can't color code anything to my liking and I'd like the ability to resize the columns in the standard grid. Being able to switch views from standard to freeform with one click would be nice also to get a different idea of how things connect. I believe the color thing is in development but I had wished it was already implemented being it should have been an obvious feature to have in the first place. LW has potential and hopefully it makes the right upgrades to be a really amazing tool to work with.

Yeah, and you see right a way that it is a half-way implementation. If you have Harry Potter and his cousin Larry Potter, you want to refer to both as "Potter" as well, you never know whom you will select.

I've tried everything to add an image into the plot board and the link to add the image won't open a selection choice and I can't import a picture. What am I missing

ProWritingAid is far far supperior to Grammarly.

This doesn’t say how to start your book. How to name it. Please help

Definitely not the best!

Perhaps a little more interaction with your users would be a productive strategy? Wouldn't hurt to have hard-working how-to content posted here as well. The emphasis on fluffy marketing, instead of support and engagement sends a poor message (greater focus on capturing sales than on customers).

hey. is livingwriter still supported? no youtube video for 6 months. no instagram for 6 months. i was just considering to buy, but em scared its comin to an end. cheers

What is the purpose of sections?

Are you in the app or the web programme. The app seems to have fewer features THSN the web programme on an ipad

Wish there was no music and the narrator would speak slower 😅

This is so cool!

What if you already typed the name before you made the element?

This is the best software for writing I have ever used.. can't say enough good things about it!... Great intuitive user interface, and so easy to learn. bravo! I can't stop writing!

I’ve been writing and I’m at about 80000 words. I’m getting tied up in knots wondering if I’ve already used an idea/turn of phrase… does this software identify duplication for me? Am I essentially too late to get good moneys worth from it?

Whiteboard, sticky notes just don't do it for me. This afternoon I used the Plotting tool and everything just fell into place. This along with the Dark Mode that saves my eyes are the best features for me, along with the clean intuitive User Interface. Livingwriter puts Scrivener to shame (no, actually, they do that to themselves).

Is there a proper user manual for this software? There doesn't seem to be a way to create a page break or number pages..?? And how do you "save" a file.. what format is it in when saved? The only download available is PDF or Word and when you do the download, all the format disappears.. you just get endless lines of text. ??? Printing does not stay true to the default fond size, and auto-indent doesn't seem to work. If there is a user manual, that would really help because all I could find was a Blog with a bit of basic information.

How does this work for plotting across multiple books?

I’m astonished there aren’t a thousand views, already. This is a GIFT. Thank you, thank you to LW and Soraya for doing this. This is my education.

Here is a silly question one may think, were are the quotation marks to input when adding dialog?

Did this feature disappear? I paid for the Lifetime subscription today and I don't see it as an option.

I don't see any videos describing the exporting to Kindle. How does that process work? Does it handle all the formatting so it looks right or the way we want it to?

Hi Team, are you guys have any templates or special features for poetry books (that's my speciality)? Also, do you guys have any number that I can reach out to you from Australia? Sorry for writing these questions here! =) I wanna sign up with you guys!

This was so helpful!

What a very drab presentation.

heads up: the placement of the watch-next-links at the end of the videos hides the reader's actions on the screen

This looks like Plottr.

Finally this is gonna be so helpful!
