I use the Windows version, and there are still so many features that I am yet to use, and so many things I am yet to discover I can do with the program. Great post! I have been using Scrivener for three years now and I absolutely love it! I recommend it to everyone.

I too used Learn Scrivener Fast to learn how to use it better, and I’m still in love. I used that more than I have before last month and it was a great way to block out the Internet. It’s made my writing tighter and more on point.Īlso, love the compose screen. While drafting in Scrivener I can sit down, write some notes in the project notes section (which appears right next to the scene you’re writing in, so no more trying to figure out what scene you were talking about), and write the scene. With Word, it feels like I’m writing one long document, on and on and on. The best thing about Scrivener, for me, is it helps me think in terms of scenes. Lots of scrolling back and forth, lots of copy and paste. There have been several times over the years where I’ve moved scenes around, or tried to combine them, and it’s just a nightmare in Word. I just pushed through to the end, safe in the knowledge that when I typed up my handwritten pages, I could very easily drop the new scene in between what I’d already written. Rather than type up what I wrote longhand (which is what I normally would do) I just kept going to keep up the momentum. I’d draft in Scrivener during nap time while the toddler was asleep, and then write longhand in the evening in a notebook. I did NaNo and I was writing all over the place.

I like being able to color code the scenes and move them around at will, but it wasn’t until this last draft that it saved my bacon. I started using Scrivener almost two years ago, and for a while I used it just like Word.

Thanks for the post, and for the link to the tutorial. You can go back to where you had been writing, confident that the reminder will be there when you get to the scene that needs changes. It’s a great place to quickly make a note to yourself that you will need to make changes to that scene later. It changes with the scene you’re writing. The column on the right, where you have space to organize all kinds of notes and data and links, etc., is scene specific.

When you rearrange scenes in the binder (or cork board, or outline view), Scrivener automatically rearranges those scenes in all the other views, plus the word processor. The “binder” on the left side of the screen allows you to bring up a different scene instantly, much quicker than opening up another file in Word.

There’s always something new to discover and try.

I enjoy having a tool with more power than I will ever use. When I compared the price and power of Scrivener to other programs, it was an easy decision. When I was researching writing programs, I was impressed by the list of writers who use Scrivener. But with just the simple features, it’s far and away the best deal for the money. There are so many features most of us will probably never use. Most of us use Word but have no idea of all the capabilities it has.
