Question that has one foot in tech: Has anyone here ever used Scrivener? If so, I'd love to hear if you liked it, didn't like it, and why.

The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
I have been playing with the trial version, but I haven't pulled the trigger on buying. I like the way it's organized, fits my thought processes. And the mobile version (that isn't precisely right but I don't know what to call it, Index Card is what I mean) really suits me. Actual index cards are what I used to use so I guess that's just how my mind works.
Anne, I use scrivener and love it. I like it's ability to compile in whatever format a market wants. I like not storing a million drafts (backup rocks), I like the outlining and notecard capabilities. I wish for a few things, but not many.
Thank you both! I've got a project starting that is going to require crazy amounts of organization, and this looks like it might help out.
Anne - FWIW, you might also check out Cicus Ponies Notebook if it's not specifically a writing project. And Yojimbo.
My writing goal for November is 1k a day, and finishing a short story a week. I did it last year with some success, so I'm hoping it'll go well this year.
Is anyone doing NaNo?
I was thinking about it, but more in the way of making sure I spend an hour a day writing than word-count goals.
I'm going to be NaNo-adjacent and blog about it. November is the worst time of the year NaNo could be, for me.
I am, Holli. My nano name is myfirstname_lastinitial.
I was thinking about it. But I don't know. I always fail! I guess I should already be doing it if I'm going to!
