It helps me structure my story, outline it, keep notes, check my progress, etc. I wrote a blog a few months back about working with the Windows version; you can read it here: http://chew-the-fat-with-bettye.blogspot.com/2013/09/september-6-2013-adventures-in.htmlbettye griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457387770524295498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-52344951603069894672014-01-28T11:00:39.517-05:002014-01-28T11:00:39.517-05:00Hi Captain Black.

Of course, I haven't seen the Mac version so I don't know if there are any features missing. <br /><br />Of course if there is a free product that works as well ... as you said, the price is nice!Carol Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01065567283392455396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-6117536224851911442014-01-28T05:47:01.832-05:002014-01-28T05:47:01.832-05:00I'm guessing most people here are Apple users....I'm guessing most people here are Apple users. Nevertheless, I have to warn you that the Windows version of Scrivener is pretty appalling, unless things have drastically changed since I tried it. It has far less features than the Mac version and is quite unstable in some areas ("crash on auto-save" is not a good behaviour, in my book). From what I've heard, the Mac version is fine.<br /><br />There's another writers' tool that lets you organise as well as write, scene-by-scene if you wish. It's a freebie called <a title="See the web site…" href="http://www.spacejock.com/yWriter5.html" rel="nofollow">yWriter</a>. I've used it for short stories and can highly recommend it for that. I've not tried it for longer pieces, but you have to admit: the price is nice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-5253580599672775302014-01-27T22:48:47.010-05:002014-01-27T22:48:47.010-05:00I have been using it on a novel, but I am working ...I have been using it on a novel, but I am working on a short story that I cannot seem to get straight and the ability to have each scene separate and kind of play with the sequence is quite valuable.Carol Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01065567283392455396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-17602536545818223352014-01-27T19:27:36.840-05:002014-01-27T19:27:36.840-05:00William, you don't need a password, and Charle...William, you don't need a password, and Charles, you'll essentially have all your chapters open as you work because Scrivener has a great navigation bar on the left that lets you see the headers of all your chapters, scenes -- however you've organized your manuscript. I especially love it because I tend to move scenes or chunks of text and its very easy to do with this software. I love it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17816575811750622788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-77921602453358143812014-01-27T12:30:04.686-05:002014-01-27T12:30:04.686-05:00Too Cool.
