Plan your novel on your phone or on paper
A plan does not have to be long. Novel Grove has pages for your premise, your characters and your plot outline, and the printable planner has the same on paper.
In the app (Plus)
- A flowchart-style story map for characters, places and events, with arrows and "what if?" branches
- Premise, character and plot pages
- Daily check-ins and weekly reflections
The word tracker, sprints, reminders and badges are free. Plus is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
On paper
The November Novel Sprint System is a 51-page printable planner: a Preptober plan, a premise worksheet, character sheets, a plot outline, a 30-day word count tracker, daily sprint logs and a recovery plan. It works with or without the app.
A simple order
Write your premise first, then your main characters, then a plot outline you can change. Then start writing and track your words.
Questions
Do I need Plus to plan?
The free version tracks your words on its own. The premise, character and plot pages and the story map are part of Plus.
Can I use the planner without the app?
Yes. The printable planner works on its own, and the app is free without it.
