I stumbled across yWriter5, free writing novel writing software from Spacejock. I've just started playing with it but it's intriguing. You can easily keep track of how many (and which) scenes your characters are in, the word count for each viewpoint character and so much more. If you're already using this software, I'd love to hear what you think of it.

Want a professional editor for your novel? You can win a FREE edit from CA Marshall of your manuscript up to 100K. Check out Julie Lindsay's blog, Musings From the Slush Pile for details.

If you're querying, there is lots of great advice out there. What do you do when the advice you read is contradictory?
