Crunch week at work, so I was home after my daughter's bedtime every night and didn't write a word.
While I was at work she found the printout of chapter 5 on my desk and went through it with a pencil. Most of the notes are in the margins. My favourite one is next to a line where the gull says sorry:
"the gull would not say this. he is ruder."
She's completely right. He'd never apologise. Back to it tonight.
What this place is
ChapterMuse is a desktop app for writing novels. Not a folder of documents and not a browser tab: one room holding the plan, the cast, the places, the research, the draft, the revision history and the finished files, all of it on your own computer. Rename a character in chapter one and the profiles, the prose and the exports follow.
It runs on Windows and macOS, works with the network off, and is bought once rather than rented: £24, £36 or £48 for a lifetime licence. AI runs on credits you only buy if you use them.
Your book is a file on your own machine. Nothing to renew, no outage that can reach your draft, and it still opens if we disappear.
30 days, everything unlocked, no card.
