Scrivener for Windows
Posted in: Book writing software by Edwin on September 18, 2009
Well, this blog title maybe look weird, but I think it’s quite a good way to explain what the Writing Outliner software project is all about.
What is Scrivener software?
Scrivener is a Mac software for writing books developed by a brilliant developer called Keith, it’s a versatile software tool for writing a book, be it a novel, a non-fiction story, a technical manual, or even a series of related documents such as columns.
While Scrivener has many features that make the book writing process easier, I think one of the big ideas behind Scrivener is that writing a book is not a process that simple start writing from the very beginning straight to the end, but rather it’s a creative process that combines taking notes, jotting down ideas that sparks at any moment, outlining the book structure, editing different chapters back and forth, final formatting and so on.
Why this writing software project started?
Scrivener inspired me when I was thinking of how to make our mind mapping software MindVisualizer more friendly for book writers, and with the help of my friend David who is a very nice and knowledgeable guy, this book writing software project was started.
What’s the difference between Scrivener and Writing Outliner?
- The main difference:
Writing Outliner is for Microsoft Windows PC system while Scrivener is for Apple Mac computer. - Writing Outliner is a Word addin that integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Word™ while Scrivener is a standalone program.
- Writing Outliner will provide some kind of mind mapping feature for capturing and organizing book writing ideas by integrating withMindVisualizer.
kudos to the author of Scrivener Keith and great thanks to my friend David! Stay tuned!
