Why I built this, and happy to answer anything

I kept hearing the same thing from people. "I've always wanted to write a book." Always wanted to. Never did.

I tried myself once. Lost the whole draft when I stopped paying for OneDrive. Never went back to it.

I'm not a writer, I'm an engineer. But that's exactly why it bothered me. People weren't failing because they lacked ideas or talent. They just had no system. Nothing that connected where they were to where they were trying to go. So I built one.

Penveil - The writing system built for finishing books.

Most book writing tools give you a place to type. Penveil gives you a structure before you type. Answer 3 questions, get a complete blueprint: full chapter outline, purpose and conflict per chapter, characters, key locations. Under 2 minutes. Every chapter has a defined job before you open it.
