Earma, I'm glad you've enjoyed my writing and I whole-heartedly encourage you to write your ancestor's stories. To answer your question, I don't use novel-writing software. The only software I have used is Character Creator PRO which is based on the Enneagram personality profiles. It's great for helping you create richer characters and see how they might interact with one other. For example, what happens when a Revolutionary falls in love with an Enthusiast? (Btw, you can learn more about Enneagrams at http://www.enneagraminstitute.com ) <P> I used this software in writing <a href="http://marniepehrson.com/books/earl.php" target="_new" rel="nofollow">The Earl's Confession</A>. My relatives play bit-parts in that one. The main characters are fictional. Thanks everybody for your comments!

I always feel like you are talking straight to me with most everything I've read of yours. I've been a distant mentoree of yours for years; so I'm always interested in what has inspired you. I've noticed many parallels in our interest and endeavours..even so i was pleasantly surprised about a recent one. I've been seriously thinking about fictionalizing a couple of my ancestor's stories...I was wondering if you would mind sharing if you use novel-writing help software. Or if you have an opinion about this in story development. I write non-fiction books and have yet to embark on my first novel. My friends have been encouraging me to go for it. Any advice would be helpful... Hi Marnie:

It's a thought provoking look into forgiveness and the values that make us who we are. Keep up the good work! I'll be glad when this is released so that other people can enjoy it as well.
