“I'm not by nature a linear writer, and plotting is difficult for me. But Writers' Blocks lets me see all my story elements graphically, and shuffle them round until order emerges from the chaos. It's a brilliant tool, simple to use, endlessly powerful, and an indispensable part of my toolkit. I recommend it highly.”

Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author

“What a great tool for any writer! [Ashley Software] has listened to writers and made remarkable additions and changes to the original program and still left options for the writer to customize the program to fit his or her individual requirements. I start my writing day by reviewing "The Block" and end it by updating it. It has become as necessary a part of my daily writing routine as my word processing program. BRAVO!”
William Diehl, Author,
