But none of us are here for Microsoft Word. In my defence, I’ve not used Word in many years, and I don’t think it did most of those things back when I used it. I’ve even been told that Word actually does many of the things I said it didn’t. The first time I reviewed Scrivener, I made the mistake of focusing on things that Microsoft Word doesn’t do more than on what Scrivener does do.
It’s less of an issue here because firstly you can set Scrivener to automatically back up your work every time you stop typing, and secondly there’s a good chance only a single document in your project will become corrupted even if it does happen. When I used Word, I lived in constant fear of my documents becoming corrupted and losing me years of work. Each document and folder also has a synopsis attached to it, meaning you can outline your work before (or while) you write. Rather than fussing with formatting headings and such, Scrivener lets you separate chapters by grouping the documents that make up the chapter into a folder that will be treated as the full chapter. It does this by letting you work in many small documents within a greater project. Put simply, Scrivener is an application designed for writing manuscripts of any size.
#SCRIVENER 3 REVIEWS UPGRADE#
Put simply, I think you should be using Scrivener 3 right now.Īt the moment Scrivener 3 is only available for the Mac, but Windows users should still buy the current version for Windows, as that will grant them a free upgrade when it does come out. That was in the days of Scrivener 2, but recently Literature and Latte released a massive update.Īfter doing a lot of writing in the new version, I now feel ready to review it. Around a year ago I wrote a review of the writing software I use: Scrivener by Literature and Latte.
