MS Word is all you need. Use OneNote to hold your notes.
Let the characters write the story! If you make them strong enough, motivated, and embroiled in conflict, they will write the story for you. Outlines and methods stifle creativity. Okay, they can keep you on the story line if you wander, but hell. If you are not writing, you don't know if you need them. So why are you not writing?
Throw away the crutches and write! Write every day. Think the story in your head when you are not at your keyboard. Dream your story at night. Live inside each character's head and write what they would do.
