In fact, there's your review: Scrivener makes an aspect of writing kind of fun. Now, I kid you not, it's actually kind of fun. Getting my manuscript in order used to be a nightmare. re-arrange, and re-re-arrange to your hearts content all via drag and drop. You can chop your manuscript into chapters, scenes, paragraphs, sentences, LETTERS and arrange. Basically, if you write out-of-order like myself, Scrivener is your new best friend. but we deviate from that with one very important aspect organization. Thus far, I've only mentioned things that were possible with BBEdit, just easier with Scrivener. And unlike many programs that do a lot, Scrivener manages to keep a clean, intuitive interface (even though it comes with a tutorial, I managed to figure out everything I wanted out of it with little to no fuss, and no tutorial). Unlike BBEdit, I didn't have to lift the hood to make Scrivener do anything because it did it all already, In fact, it does so much that the $50 price tag that seemed a little steep, now seems like an incredible bargain. The lesson here is, if something seems to be ubiquitous, there's probably a very good reason. Be it playwrights, novelists, scriptwriters, or technical writers, it seemed that everybody used it. Still, a friend urged me to try out Scrivener, the seemingly ubiquitous writer's app. The combination of the glossary and hot-keys meant I could make it do whatever I needed it to, quickly. Up until about a year ago, the only writing app I used was BBEdit.
