This template has been created based on my experience of using Onenote to write my huge Fantasy Dirt ( Out Now!). You will be prompted to create the notebook, give it a name and browse the save location. Unzip the file then double click on the package file. (Note - You will need to get OneNote 2016 to install this, but it will then work on other versions of OneNote like the Windows 10 App version) You must have Onenote already installed, obviously. (Note: The free version only allows you to save the notebook to OneDrive, but it should not be a problem for writing novels.) Novel Notebook Template To install: Recently, Microsoft decided to make the application free, whether or not you use their office suite or not. As part of the MS Office suite, it has been an invaluable tool for years. I admit that I am a bit of a Onenote addict. The old staring at a blank sheet is bad enough when writing a chapter, but when you haven't even planned further than a nice title or the name of your lead character's pet dog, it can seem an impossible mountain to climb. Planning a novel is a vital part of the process, but it can sometimes seem a right pain. I have just simplified it and cleaned up some of the instructions within the notebook. UPDATE March 2020 - Since Microsoft have rescued OneNote 2016 and are going to continue to support it, I have updated this Notebook Template a little.
