Instructions
NOTE: The intent of iPlanToWrite is a planning, note taking, and structured writing tool. For example resources such as setting and characters can be refined and reused. Chapters can be organized and reviewed individually. iPlanToWrite is not like your typical word processor or notepad. iPlanToWrite uses a relational database to store components of the writing assignment. Components are organized and can be linked together. Writing content is formatted using HTML and can be emailed as a report.
