Actually, it might be helpful on a project I’m working on for a nonprofit. I currently use Microsoft OneNote for most of my note taking and organizing, but it isn’t as conducive to the actual writing as Scrivener’s seems to be. Thanks for the info! This has been very enlightening.

Scrivener’s a cool organization tool for long forms of writing, so I mainly use it for when I’m writing fiction. You can separate everything into chapters, and within those chapters you can switch tabs between the actual text and an outline tool. Basically it helps when you’ve left off on Ch. 7 and don’t have to scroll through hundreds of pages to get to it. You can also export when you’re done to Word or an rtf file, either into one large document or one document for each chapter. My favorite feature is the Trash bin, because I don’t like to delete things, so if a scene isn’t working I just put it there until I find a good place for it (or if I don’t, it’s still nice to know it’s there in case there was an image or sentence I can use elsewhere).

I’m sure there are more features but I haven’t had to use them yet.

But when I’m writing articles or doing copywriting I use Word.

Natalia – You know, at least “crept” is a verb. Strong verbs make the world go round! I’ve heard about those programs that try to help you with your writing style. What do you think of Scrivener?

Thanks for stopping by, by the way! I wrote for a pro-sex magazine until it mysteriously went out of business (c’est la vie) and found my job a lot of fun. I think you and I will have a lot to talk about!
