This was my issue uploading Camino to D2D format wrong and wouldn&#8217;t be accepted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>this may be worth exploring and learning for paper and hardback books. Also for code books to have good code blocks to format in the right way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">yWriter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This looks quite good for capturing ideas and formulating plots, definitely worth a crack at exploring<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"yWriter Software Tutorial\" width=\"678\" height=\"509\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ti5HNVVIV1w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve downloaded it, its by a scifi author who is also a programmer, Simon Haynes and he mentioned FreeMind that I&#8217;m exploring at the moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has got me interested in writing a novel but I&#8217;m at early stages.
