ladyjanelly I just got the beta of Scrivener for windows. It's a very cool writing tool.
Playing around with it now. Anybody else use it? Seems like it might actually help me like--have a richer character base and stronger plot and some sort of foreshadowed external conflict.
I'm throwing an idea I've been kicking around for a while in it and it's shaping up with surprising ease. I like being able to sketch out chapters. I've never really written out of order before, but I might try now. I like the way cards/chapters/scenes can be moved around and re-stacked. I like the flexibility of being able to organize my thoughts so visually.
On the other hand, I dunno if I have the momentum to actually write a whole story without feedback from my f-list on a chapter-by-chapter basis. So if I get a good chunk done and slow down, I may have to find a cheerleader. If I even get that far.
BTW, it's here, and free: http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivenerforwindows/
