THROUGHLINE
Interactive Index
Card Software
|
For Macintosh OSX version 10.2 or
better
THROUGHLINE is
perhaps the most
useful writing tool you can own.
Most writers
still rely on index cards tacked to the wall in order to develop their
stories. Why? Because the ability to visualize and organize
the timelines and dramatic elements of a story vastly increases
efficiency and creativity.
The problems with
index cards are that they are time-consuming to rearrange and organize
and get easily cluttered when changes are made to their text content.
In recent years,
software products have been marketed that are supposed to take index
cards to the "next level." But these are complicated to
use and expensive as well, often costing in the range of $150 to $200.
Now there is THROUGHLINE,
a powerful yet easy to use interactive index card software program at a
price any writer can afford.
KEY
FEATURES
With
THROUGHLINE you can create, delete, edit, and arrange index
cards. You can also print
out the contents of the index cards and export the contents to an RTF
file you can open in your word processor.
