Blogger Compares Textnovel.com to Quillpill -- and Joins Textnovel.com!

[Stan]

Claire S. is the author of a blog named Wingcolor and is participating in Nanowrimo's annual novel-writing adventure in the month of November. She did a review of Quillpill as a possible way to write novels with cellphones, so we pointed out that she had missed Textnovel.com.

So today she did a review of Textnovel.com, and guess what? She loved Textnovel.com and decided to join! Here are a few things she said:

"TextNovel is a site that seems a bit more mainstream-friendly than QuillPill....there’s no character limit on how much you can write at a time. This allows for longer passages, and that, plus certain features that they offer–dividing stories into chapters, categorizing stories according to genre–make the written offerings seem far more traditional stories. They having a ranking system that puts the highest ranked stories on the front page, as well as editor’s picks, making it easier to find stories that might appeal to you."

"...for all that I’m fascinated by this new form, I’m actually probably NOT QuillPill’s ideal user as, I think (based on what I saw, and I could be wrong), it requires a mobile browser if you want to write your story from your cell phone. Originally, I had the idea that you could simply send a text message, and it would post to your account. Exploring the QuillPill site a bit more, I think that was a misconception on my part. However, TextNovel allows exactly that. You can also post by sending an e-mail, or of course, on the site itself. So that’s one of the major appeals of cell phone noveling that TextNovel makes more accessible to a larger population."

"I personally plan on signing up for TextNovel, and will probably use it, at least during NaNoWriMo, as a way to write on the go."

Thanks Claire! We look forward to seeing your stories.
