About this app

Write your first novel

Still can’t gather your strength? It happens pretty often. Writing books is easy; it’s hard to write good books. If this were not the case, we would all be creating bestsellers.
Every writer spends a lot of time thinking about a novel. Perhaps you are doing some research. You are calculating how the story will develop. You brainstorm, hear how the characters speak: it’s the essential part of creating a book. Your book has already formed in your head, and you are ready to sit down and start writing.

Organize your books

Before you get down to business, you should deal with organizational issues. It would be best to write down all the ideas in a form that you can then use. But why? Because our memory is unreliable and because your story (like any other that is at the same stage) has many holes that need to be patched before you start working. It would be best if you created a plan for the novel: in this case, it will not discourage you from writing.

“Snowflake Method”

The Fabula app is based on the “snowflake method” invented by Randy Ingermanson. You can quickly write novels, stories, fairy tales, fanfiction, any story. In just nine easy steps, you can create an outline for your book and start writing your first draft.
Fabula is your book writing assistant.

Just updated the app and almost all of my stories are gone! I had 7 or 8 or so and now they're all gone but 2. It logged me out after it updated. I've logged back in, restarted the app and the phone, nothing works. The 2 stories that are left are missing information. Thankfully I didn't use this app for actually writing the stories. Just a lot of information that I don't have anymore. I do have some of the information elsewhere. Doesn't seem like a reliable app.

I absolutely loved this app. Its user friendly, well made, and is exactly what I need for organizing my thoughts and ideas before I forget them. I would love to give five stars, however, unfortunately it keeps deleting my scenes 😔 It happened once and I was willing to write it off as a glitch and move on but then it happened 2 or 3 more times. I write them down, leave the app, and next time I go in it's deleted all the words. I can't get those back now and spent a long time writing them 😔

I really like this app, but it has room for improvement. For one, when you create a series, the characters change throughout. The goals in book 1 aren't going to be the same as in book 3. But there is no way to set new goals without creating a whole new character sheet for each book. When you have 50 characters it becomes really tedious. There is also a duplication glitch. Next, the relationship chart loads sooo sloooow. I wish there were multiple chart options so you can make family trees.
