Liquid Story Binder

Especially For Writers!

Liquid Story Binder
Tools & Utilities

*** Due to the overwhelming response Black Obelisk Software has agreed to extend this deal for another day - Enjoy! ***

Aspiring and accomplished writers alike know that disorganized thoughts can be a maddening hindrance to creativity. Especially when all of those disorganized thoughts are spread across a maelstrom of notebooks, Word files, post-it's, emails, magazine margins, storyboard sketches, and whatever else.

Liquid Story Binder is uniquely designed for authors, poets, writers, and novelists. No matter what your ability level, Liquid Story Binder will provide you with the tools you need to create, outline, organize, timeline, revise, storyboard, conceive, diagram, and format your work.

It even includes a built-in audio recorder in case you want to listen to the pacing and phrasing of a particular section, paragraph, or sentence!

Liquid Story Binder is completely customizable. Choose a color scheme that suits you, save window positions and open files, create workspaces, open dozens of windows simultaneously or just a simple textbox centered in the screen... it's up to you, your comfort zone, and your writing style!

Can't remember where you wrote that important paragraph? A Universal Search feature makes finding it a snap. Search every Chapter, Note, Builder, Timeline, Storyboard, Outline, Dossier, Sequence and Backup for a single lost word or phrase. Plus, the Repetition Visualizer helps you to find and weed out repetitive words and phrases, at-a-glance!

Extremely adaptable, Liquid Story Binder utilizes common TXT, RTF, and ZIP file formats, guaranteeing future access. It can be stored and executed off of a portable USB drive, and automatically creates an easy-to-access backup file with an entry for each day's changes.

  • Mindmaps: Link ideas together using lines and text.

    Is it compatible with Windows 7? It doesn't say it is here, but on the software's website it says it is. Please clarify.

    Liquid Story Binder XE is Windows 7 compatible. Before purchasing, download Liquid Story Binder XE and give it a try.

    Can you describe whether/how Liquid handles "hoisting?" Two-pane outliners allow one to place topics in the right-hand pane, body in the left-hand pane.

    I would like a text editing/writing tool that does "in-line" hoisting - e.g., the text beneath a heading or sub-heading can be collapsed or expanded, without leaving the main window. When a topic is collapsed, only the heading shows. When expanded, both the heading and text body are shown.

    Does Liquid do anything like this?

    Visitor Bob S (Visitor) Says:

    Looks like the "Outline" feature allows one to do this, as well as nesting of sub-topics.

    Does the Outline mode offer "full fledged" editing (e.g., fonts, highlighting, etc.) or is it limited?

    Thank you.

    @Bob S, you can go to the Black Obelisk website and download a fully functional trial, play around with it for a while, and buy if you like it. You just get a product key when you buy from here that you can enter in and be good to go.

    This is exceptional software for writers. It does have a bit of a learning curve. Like, you actually need to read the tutorials and you will have to click through the help files a bit. I have tried quite a few other applications for writers, but this one read more

    LSB Developer - just tried the Outliner in LSB.

    Two things I find very peculiar:
    (a) there doesn't appear to be a "drag and drop" feature that allows one to move topics around; instead, only arrows for moving topics up/dow, right/left in the outline - is that correct?
    (b) When I moved a topic ahead of another topics (e.g., from #3 to #2), the topic moved, but not its subtopics. Is there a way to "lock" subtopics to their parents? This seems counter to what one would want and expect - how do you move an entire section - item and its children - at once?

    Visitor Bob S (Visitor) Says:

    I like the hoisting feature that allows one to collapse/expand subtopics. Nicely implemented... I couldn't figure out what the orange symbol next to a topic signified, however.

    Outlines allow you to color code selected items. Choose 'Color' from the Outline's 'Content' menu. To move Outline child / subtopic items, collapse the child items first using the parent plus (+) sign. Sorry no drag and drop.
