What's the best writing software for short story's
Hi everyone, Does anyone know some good writing software they could recommend? I am looking for something simple that I can use for my short story's for competitions throughout the year. Ideally one with a built in calendar would be prefect to keep track of competition deadlines as there are so many different competitions to enter. Any advice would be great :-)

I was planning on entering all the competition dates for short story competitions throughout 2016 into the calendar, hopefully setting reminders throughout the year so I can keep up to date with them all and using the same programme to write the actual story's so that everything is in one place. I think I may be looking for something that isn't out there, I may be better just getting a good pc calendar and sticking with Microsoft Word?
You could just jot down reminders in a diary or on a paper calendar.
Easy to use.
It can help with character names. Allows you to adjust and track events, dates
and characters. It has a section for ideas. It can also generate ideas for inspiration, if you are having an off day :-?
When you have finished your story you can export it to become a formatted manuscript style, ready to send off for publication.
It also keep records of where and who you have sent your story/s to.
It has a few other features.
I bought this at Curry's PC world.
You and I both know your short story writing has shown if you keep at it you can improve on original attempts.
If you've started a novel C2 then I suggest you keep working on that as well. You may not want to send anything off at the moment but who knows what you could achieve a little way into the future.
Wonderful encouragement indeed.
I down loaded the programme onto my pc and the disc is idle in
a draw, I'm sure I read it could be used twice.
This is the web page.

Must pay more attention...now where have I read that (many times) before.
