An interesting article about using technology to assist in writng that is on the BBC website. Might be of some use to writers.

Phew! I was worried for a moment that it was a BBC product designed to insert 'and climate change' into every sentence ;-)

You, too, Radagast! The joy your humor gives all of us isn't worth the risk that a woke idiot will read it and treat it as a how-to guide.

Too late. The BBC actively vets characters in their dramas to ensure diversity is 'properly' represented. And properly does not mean proportionate to population percentages.

Hmm... much of the article isn't about writing, but marketing, or turning a book into... something else - a game, perhaps.
The one technology that does seem to be related to actually writing is Lynit and I found it interesting enough to go look because its point seemed to be keeping up with complexity and that is something I'm dealing with. I've even tried various ways (spreadsheet, database) to address character, plot, and world complexity. Can't say much about the software yet, but just looking at the home page of lynit.app, I found:
"See your outline from deifferent angels to identify structural patterns"
Alright! I'm pretty sure angels can show me the way!! I thought it was Muses that affected writing, but I'm good with angels, especially "deifferent" angels that can be summoned by software!
Sorry, but I found that article to be a giant mess. It bounces all over the place. Then when it urged people to inject things like sound, music and video as well as giving multiple choices, that is not a novel anymore. That is Interactive Fiction. Something that is completely different than a novel.
I have absolutely no idea who that article is aimed at, but certainly it is not at anybody even remotely a "writer".
