Some people has the talent to write good stories. Probably most uses only a paper and a pen for this task. However, if you are searching for a respective tool, I maybe have another solution: Storybook!
Storybook describes itself as “a free, open source novel-writing tool for creative writers, novelists and authors which will help you to keep an overview of multiple plot-lines while writing books, novels or other written works. Storybook assists you in structuring your book”.
Here is a screenshot:
Main Window of Storybook
It offers a lot of more features than I can describe, so better look at the homepage. You can get it from my OBS repository (package storybook).
Have fun and write lots of good stories! 🙂

If you are interested in writing stories I can highly recommend Celtx. It is mostly geared towards movie/TV production, but it is still very versatile. Check out their homepage at celtx.com.

Thanks for the recommendation. Seems very interesting.
Hi Thomas,
This fails with the following error:

Could not find the main class: ch.intertec.storybook.StorybookApp. Program will exit.
That shouldn’t happen, of course. I’ve tested it with openSUSE 11.1 and it worked for me.
Ahh, after I’ve had a closer look, it seems the log4j package was missing in the requires section. I’ve built a new package, that should work hopefully (available in a few minutes).
Thanks for your report!
