“I can’t imagine writing anything without it,” kvelled Thorin Klosowski in Lifehacker. Scrivener saves feverishly so you don’t have to and opens out into a distraction-zapping, cosmologically magnificent full-screen mode that is commensurate with your writerly ambition. (Unlike yWriter and A Novel Idea, it costs $45.) The “Inspector” button lets you toggle to a layout that represents each section you’ve created as a single notecard, inscribed with whatever summary or information you care to provide. Like yWriter and A Novel Idea, it breaks long documents into manageable pieces that you can then move around. It is essentially a writer’s studio where you can store drafts and research, craft outlines, and organize your thoughts.
What exactly is Scrivener? It’s not an app that will ply you with “36 dramatic situations” or stipulate that every scene have a “goal,” “conflict,” and “outcome.” It won’t steer you toward clichéd dramatis personae or bind you to a single “tone” or “premise” or take your adverbs out back and shoot them.
