Thanks for your informtion about Scrivener — fascinating! And what skill he had, to be able to write AND create a software program. Very different talents, I think.

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 05:01:14 +0000 http://theadventurouswriter.com/blogwriting/?p=98#comment-5980 I don't think I would have been able to write my novel were it not for Scrivener and its support for non-linear writing, outlining, research, image and document importation or full screen mode. It is an indispensable tool for any serious writer. I would put it on my top ten list of must-have applications as a Mac user. There is a Windows alternative, but it doesn't come close. The developer of Scrivener was a writer who was frustrated with not being able to find software that could do all the things he wanted to do a writer, so he learned how to write software and made it himself. Could you ask for a better source for creating such a terrific software program made especially for writers?

I'm not sure what it's called. Pettersson RAVED about her Mac. She said she didn't want one at first, but found PC's too frustrating. She fell in love with her Mac right away, and says she'd never go back. I need to find someone with a Mac so I can give it a test drive!

Too bad though that Scrivener is for Macs only. Great tips! Too bad though that Scrivener is for Macs only.
