Scrivener

Found a great new tool to help me with my fiction writing.

I found that now I'm seriously engaged with the writing process that I'm collecting an alarming amount of research material with no real cataloging system. Given how quickly I type, I don't consider it practical to write in a notebook (other than to scribble down ideas until I get back to my laptop), so most of my research is found online or in hard-cover books I'm reading.

It's only the first morning but this tool is very promising as I work through the tutorial. Just wish it had a timeline function so that I could datestamp scenes and rearrange their order visually. Something to suggest to the creator I suppose.

I'm trying it out over the holidays and I hope I decide it's worth paying for.
