While going through the back catalogue of Writing Excuses, I was turned on to a
piece of software known as WikidPad.
The short explanation is that it lets you create personalized, local wikis
about anything and everything. Naturally, this is a powerful tool for any
writing that involves world building. Since I am flitting between stories that I
want to work on, and was in the process of using word documents to write my story bible, I decided to give it a try. I was initially frustrated by a couple
of issues regarding how the links are displayed hierarchically, and I have yet
to find a way to create category pages, but after trying competing software, WikidPad seems to be the best option for
me.
If you need to keep entire histories of civilizations
straight, or even just want an easy guide to your main characters, this could
be a useful tool for you.
