Frequently Asked Questions (and their respective answers):
Is the information I type in the Writer's Area secure and private? Your information is completely secure and private. Only you can access this information. This is, of course, with the exception of the public forum. Please visit our Policies page for a complete explaination of our policies. What are the benefits to signing up with Writersmachine? You will be able to log into our system from any computer worldwide to access character notes, story ideas, idea generation tools, public discussion groups, and more. You can even write your entire manuscript using our online word processor. The entire system is free and will remain so as long as we can afford to. What happens when i'm finished with my manuscript? Within the Writer's Area, you will find two Export buttons. One will export all of your character data and notes into Microsoft Excel (or a compatible program) and the other will export your manuscript, including Rich Text into Microsoft Word (or a compatible program). We recommend that you run this export routine whenever you have made entries into the system, just for your own backup. Do you offer any publishing or marketing opportunities? Yes! We have now added the ability to publish your manuscript on our web site and also to receive comments from folks who read it. Then you can allow publishers to contact you. Why does the Idea Generator come up with such strange responses? The Idea Generator works on a simple random number generator principal. It picks a number from each of many categories and then outputs the word or phrase that is assigned to that number. Even though the responses are witty at times, you should still consider them carefully. Remember, the reason that you are using the Idea Generator is to think in a different way than you are thinking currently. If you are writing a victorian-based story and the generated response is "Cult", the word may start you thining about what types of cults would be around then. Perhaps this could lead you to develop a social clique that plots against your protagonist. |
