Hi Andy.

A hearty welcome. What you intend sounds interesting, and after having read your more detailed description I sit here and wonder what you’re after. The user interface you describe sounds too good to be true - and to strange (or new or different) to be feasible. And that’s what intreagues me. I have no clue how that could be accomplished - and even if it’s desireable. But the idea ...

Anyway. Keith Blount came to my mind, too. I’d also recommend you contact him.

Or maybe: Not. ‘cause Keith started out programming a writer’s software as no word-processing software met his needs. He started out because he wanted to write a novel. Now he has a flourishing software business - but obviously not enough time to write his novel. Which is good for the users of Scrivener and Scapple (another interesting tool). And hopefully even good for his bank account… But surely not good for Keith, the novelist-to-be.

So, maybe, for the publications you intend, Dr. Andus’ approach may be more target-aimed.

Best wishes, Franz
