With Scrivener’s usual layout you have the Binder on the left side which shows your document structure, the index card for the synopsis, the status information, and the document or project notes on the right side, and the space to write the actual text in the middle.
Granted, without Circus Ponies Notebook I would not have been able to write my dissertation, it helped me so much organizing all the material, all the literature, and all the countless results and statistical analysis, but when it comes to actual writing, Scrivener is just the reigning and undefeated champion.įirst, let’s give a quick overview of what Scrivener looks like: The typical interface of Scrivener. Now my dissertation thesis has 45.531 words and 288.429 characters and still isn’t finished - and I just cannot cope with the love for this program.
No kidding - I wrote “Organizing Creativity” with it, which was over 400 pages long, had 138.105 words and 785.500 characters, and it was still very easy to find the thread or specific spots where I wanted to change something. Note: It’s now available as Version 2.x and still the best tool I know for writing (and the posting is still up-to-date). I have already recommended Scrivener in the references of “Organizing Creativity”, but writing my dissertation thesis with it has led me to recommend it once more: It is simply an awesome, awesome, really awesome program.
