yWriter is a free novel-writing program designed by Spacejock Software, currently in its fifth version. It was created by NaNoWriMo participant Simon Hayes, author of the Hal Spacejock series of books. The program is a word processing program that breaks down each scene into its own file, making it easier to move scenes around within a folder specifically for the project. yWriter comes with tools many writers will find useful, like character descriptions, location listings and the like. You can set up a word count and other goals and the program will devise a work schedule for you, letting you know if you're ahead or behind. Each scene is designated a completion level from outline through final draft. Each character can be tracked by the number of scenes they appear in. Scenes can be assigned different priorities as well.
