However, Scrivener makes this far simpler.įocusing on single logical sections of text to the exclusion of others and being able to rearrange them without any struggle at all is the main design goal of Scrivener. Standard word processors do let you set so-called levels on pieces of text and perform a similar kind of drag and drop to rearrange those pieces. Chapters and scenes can be dragged and dropped at will from one location to another, enabling you to easily restructure anything you’re writing without affecting any of the content itself. For example, a chapter in a book can be represented by a folder, and each scene within that chapter is its own single-document entry. Using a topic-based approach, Scrivener organizes documents into small sections. Libre-Office’s Writer application is arguably as good as Word-some might like it more, others not as much-and it certainly wins out on price, given that it’s free, but it also takes a single-document approach to composition. It takes all of the single-document compositional tools of well-known word processors such as Word and corrects all of the mistakes they make. One thing I do know is that the best writing tool I’ve ever seen is Scrivener. I can write decently, stringing together sentences and paragraphs well, but I’ve never been able to sustain that in order to come anywhere close to producing a good short story, let alone a book. I wish I were as good at authoring as I am at editing-or at reading. Literature & Latte has released Scrivener 3 for Windows.
