I p...Well, Scrivener really is what you make of it. I probably sell it short simply because I'm still fairly new to using it. My current WIP is the first time I've taken a project from outline to draft to revision on it so it's still very new to me. <br /><br />HOWEVER.. don't misunderstand me. I love that I can put my research together with my writing in one program and have 2 windows open with both at the same time in the same program. Sure, you can do that with Word as well.. but I've really found Scrivener more useful in that regard to how I used to have to do things. Plus, Scrivener has much more than what I've mentioned. <br /><br />Quite literally, you can use it strictly for a word processor, or you can use it to the entire process. I'll say this much, now that I've written on both Word and Scrivener.. I won't go back to Word. Even with my limited knowledge of Scrivener, I love what it offers me over Word. Having everything right there at my finger tips as opposed to 3 spiral notebooks and 2 programs open at the same time.. it's no contest.<br /><br />But that' just me. Obviously there are as many opinions as there are ways to write. When it comes right down to it, they're all just the mechanism to get you to the end result. Whether you use a pencil or Scrivener.. just use what gets you there in the way you prefer. :)Skippy Bo Bippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726223362818603739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863242784279751762.post-21196822001930693462012-03-13T23:25:19.015-04:002012-03-13T23:25:19.015-04:00I'm a Word girl, simply cuz I have it and and ...I'm a Word girl, simply cuz I have it and and have no desire to change.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106399041059595196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863242784279751762.post-57359550962063280652012-03-13T22:54:35.773-04:002012-03-13T22:54:35.773-04:00I think what you said about Scrivner is the reason...I think what you said about Scrivner is the reason I never consider changing. My processor works just fine, and I feel no need to spend more money. Then again, you could consider me disorganized :)Jennie Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331827076858223497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863242784279751762.post-20678009547670419152012-03-13T22:11:36.052-04:002012-03-13T22:11:36.052-04:00Someone recommended Scrivener to me recently.

I tried Ywriter and just couldn't like it even though I wanted to. Though for all intents and purposes Word works fine. I've written a few novels using it and, for the most part, it can meet my needs.S.P.
