If you fancy looking at it you can always get a Trial Version of it over on their site (click on the link below): Forty odd quid for something that I should get years out of is only a few pence a week, I shouldn't have procrastinated about getting it.
I'll have to do occasional updates on the blog on how I am using Scrivener and finding the software. It'll be especially great for both novel and any non-fiction work I want to do for Flash Fiction pieces I can stick with Pages or a notebook.

I'm moving the PDF of the manual from my mac on to my Paperwhite so I can scan through that a bit and get an idea of all that it can do, which is patently a lot. The only way it won't be is if I stop writing, which I have no intention of doing. I am 99.9% sure it'll be an investment well worth every little pound. But there is writing news in that I've bitten the little financial bullet and purchased Scrivener 3 from Literature & Latte. Getting the FlashFeed done was my first and probably only bit of writing to be done today other than this couple of blogs. It certainly increases productivity and options - and I reckon writing habits. Even this blog post has been written in one sitting at a pub, with a single pint (of Oakham ‘Citra’, in the Dispensary). I’ve only had mine for a week or so and reckon I’ve written at least 4k additional words than I would have without one. We’ll see how it evolves,Īnyway, in short, if you are away from home, your PC and (hardback) notebooks regularly then having the option of a tablet to put your notes or stories into can be a massive plus in multiple ways. So far I haven’t thought about adding anything other than words to it - but if I wanted I could add photos, links, anything to the diary. Now I find me typing out a simple diary each day - it’s been a few years, but I used to keep a regular diary and loved it. Then saved that as a Template I can use for later years. I simply created twelve folders for the months then the requisite number of pages for the days of the week. It’s so much easier than guaranteeing doing that with a paper copy book. One of the first things I did, which I hadn’t planned to do, was create a diary using Scrivener, knowing I’d pick up the iPad once every day or two.

I’m sure it would be great without Scrivener and Dropbox, but it’s just so seamless the way these two bits of software work if you already do. Less of a risk and at the same time more likely to be used for your writing whilst you’re out. Smaller and lighter and less obvious than a laptop. An iPad is 5 kilos less than your laptop it’s like carrying a small book. Then save your Scrivener projects into Dropbox and you’re away. If you’ve got a Dropbox account, it’s flawless. Not knowing anyone with the same set up it was a little bit risky in case it didn’t work. A friend offered me a none Apple tablet (which he didn’t want, nor could think of anyone else that might either) but as I mainly wanted it for writing it had to Apple so that I could link it with Scrivener on my Pro. I’ve finally bit the bullet and gone for the cheapest of the standard iPads and got an integral case with keyboard. For the sake of the odd hundred words or so you just don’t take it out in the end. No: not conducive to carrying, opening, running software, writing and saving, closing, packing away, bringing back and repeat. It’s not like you can have a coffee or beer and walk away and leave it without worrying about it not being there when you safely got back with a lighter bladder. As well as being large and heavy a proper laptop like that is very attractive to thieves. That’s some double handling you can do without, surely. Yeah, but then you need to type it up when you get home. But let’s face it at 5.5 kilos it’s not designed for walking around on the off chance you may want to pop a few words down.

For ten years I’ve had a MacBook Pro and it’s a lovely bit of kit (I’m still using it ten years later and use it for my website and writing).
