As the trial comes to a close here is an assessment to yet another word document program.
I encountered Roam about a month ago, and I started the month trial. I had looked at some people use it, their perspective on it and how they thought it made them better.

Being in Grad School, an aspiring architect with a lot of projects in her hands — I was intrigued to say the least.
I started using it immediately (you know, that new program excitement) and was skeptical on how effective it really would be. Well,

- Wrote 6 chapters of a novel I had been putting off for two years (total of almost 8k words)
