I'm plannnig the first adventure for the RPG club of my students in Nimble Writer and it's amazing. Having a writing tool like this in the same place as my games is an invitation for creativity and I think I will be writing more than gaming from now on. Writing is the best game, after all.

It does what it says on the tin and surprisingly well even compared to options like Scrivener and Reedsy which have their advantages for a lot more money. If you have a big enough display or even multiples you aren't losing much by going with Nimble Writer and so far I am quite happy with it. Some other reviews of mentioned a lack of fonts but I seem to find all standard fonts in the customization menu, so its there if you look.

It's a good program but it has it's issues. One such issue I found was the program will sometimes NOT save the text notes along the side unless you save the document through the upper task bar icon versus the (would you like to save this document before you exit) option. It's only happened to me a couple of times now. I should mention that I have NOT encountered the problem where the main story has failed to save. I don't know if it's still happening to other people but It's never happened to me. Maybe they fixed it? Another issue I have is the daily word count. If you type a word but change your mind and replace it with another it counts as 2 in the daily count. Also everything you write in the notes doesn't get added to the daily count. I know it's not part of the main story but it's still writing and I would have liked it counted in the end. I think a menu option could improve this feature. Even with all of that said, I LOVE this program. I change the background image to something similar to the scene location that I'm working on. It helps me imagine the lighting and smells and feel of the air. It makes it easier to breath some real life into the story. With all the notes, profiles, and images on the side it's a solid little program that makes organizing my writing so much easier.
