I do a full review of the visual plotting software called Plottr, showing a demo of how I used the program to plot a novel, and sharing pros, cons, and if I would recommend it to other writers.
Plottr*: https://plottr.com/?ref=481
*I now have an affiliate link! If you use this to buy a Plottr license, I will get a portion of the sale. This does not affect my opinion of the program, and in fact I did not even have this link when I made this video. But if you want to purchase a license and support me at the same time, this is a great way to do so!
