NEO - A Writing Tool for Authors

How to download, install, and use NEO. This is my full-time writing environment. NEO doesn't have all the features of some other writing software, and that's the point. This is for getting that rough draft written, in a distraction-free environment and minimal UI. You can write an entire novel in NEO using nothing more than your keyboard. The ENTER key does all the heavy lifting. The other goal with NEO is to remind you that you're writing a book, not a document. Your WIPs sit on shelves, and you can see their cover art. NEO remembers where you left off every project, so you are never scrolling from the top each time you reopen it. Create shelves to organize your projects, drag and drop so you remember what to work on next, and keep writing! There is an outline feature for people who prefer is. Typewriter mode for fans of that. Dark and light modes, and a great full-screen UI with dimmed elements. The hope is that you get lost in your own worlds! Download neo at: www.hughhowey.com/neo. Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Report bugs on GitHub: https://github.com/hughhowey/neo. It's all free! But I do have something to ask for in return. Please finish that book you've been dreaming about. Write a short story a month for a year and see where that takes you. Spend a little time every day in NEO being creative. And best of luck in your publishing adventures! -Hugh
