This isn't a tool for everyone, but ideal for programmers and other computer experts who want to graph the entities and relationships of their story. It does not save your data, which is intentional. This can be inconvenient in some ways, but it gives you free control of your data. The script format is designed to be human-readable, so you can edit your story information on any text editor, (ideally with cloud backup) and copy and paste it into SOGG when you want it charted.

SOGG is completely free. If you find it useful, and want to show your support, please check out my novel and sample chapter of Heroes of Teraya - Tyranny of the Necromancer on Amazon and see if it something you'd like to read.

I created SOGG to help me with my writing. There are a lot of well-developed, elaborate writing tools out there. I tried some of those, but they didn't work for me as I found it too slow to enter my data in a GUI. Also, when updates occurred, and when fetures were redesigned, my charts and data had to be redone which was tedious and a time-waster. So, I designed a tool where my data entry just text you can do anywhere, and the raw data is useable as is. The chart that is generated is basically a node graph, but instead of drawing the relationships with lines of multple angles, I kept all of the relationships horizantal for maximum readability. Typical node charts work very well when there is only type of connected relationship. SOGG allows you to have unlimited distinct custom relationship types.

While I designed SOGG with a use case of novel writing, I wanted to leave the terminology generic as it may be useful for other use cases.

By default the page loads a small example of some Lord of the Rings characters and other subjectas and objects. Click the Generate button to see the graph and click around the graph to navigate your data. Paste your data in the text box with your own and click generate again.

SOGG does NOT save any of your data. So, please write and edit it in your favorite editor, and just paste it into SOGG. None of your data is sent to my server, so your privacy and rights are protected. Any graphs you generate are your own and you may use them for commercial or non-commercial uses.
