Title: Scrivener
Post by: Heradel on January 11, 2008, 01:39:49 AM

Scrivener (http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.html)

Is anyone else using it? It's very Mac-like (and Mac only), but I'm finding it best of the getting-out-of-the-way style of text editors. Layout ability is nonexistent (infinite in both directions page), though it does have several basic standard formats for comics, novels, screen/stage/radio -plays. I liked it enough that I paid for it, which as a college student is a rarity with the intangible.

Just to bump, and by way of example, here's a screengrab of my current writing environment.

Edit: for some reason attaching the png isn't working, though it's probably my school's VPN messing up the transfer. I'll fix it in about an hour. Nevermind.

Yes! I love Scrivener!

I do wish it had slightly stronger support for scripts, plays in particular, but that said I was able to transfer a 10 minute play written in Scrivener over to Move Magic Screenwriter without too much aggravation.
