How Authors Write

It’s not always as easy as sitting down and tapping on those keys – especially if you want to craft a good story… or one with great continuity.

One great piece of software available for Mac users is Scrivener.

I am a total neophyte user of Scrivener, but frankly, it’s the best damn thing since sliced bread!

Writing has been patchy for me the last year or so, but with Scrivener I know I never have to worry about losing pages, research, photos… pretty much anything that can be turned into a digital format. That means when I do get to sit down in front of my laptop to write, every single thing is right there, waiting for me to use it.

Check out Teddy Pig’s blog where he’s previewing some screencaps from a variety of authors showing how they use Scrivener:

JL Langley

AM Riley

Maura Anderson

Ally Blue

(I’ll add more as they come up)

They all are just a little different. It’s quite fascinating, really.

Check out the what’s new page. There are some seriously cool changes they’ve made for Scrivener 2.0.

And if you don’t believe me on how good Scrivener really is, check out the Testimonials page – all these other authors can’t be wrong, can they :)

And if you don’t have a Mac, what are you waiting for??? Not only is the software a tax write-off, but so’s the new Mac to run it on!

    Hmm, interesting! I don’t have a Mac, but perhaps in the future…

    I have tried out a couple of writing assist programs, and have found that for me, word works the best. It’s possible if I gave them a chance, I might fall in love with one of them, but so far I’ll stick to the standby.
    As for a mac, I’d LOVE one. Tax write off or not, lol, not this year :)
