I'll be buying a Windows license as well, once they finalize the Windows port of the program. Over the month I fell in love with the program and ended up buying it just two weeks into the trial. But within ten minutes I had my project set up and my first scene in progress. I don't like wasting time learning new programs and I was about to purchase Word.
OMMWRITER TRIAL WINDOWS FREE
When I downloaded the free trial of Scrivener, I was sure I wouldn't like it. The program offers you so much, but it isn't overwhelming! I've tried other programs, but the stark whiteness of those Just Write apps intimidates me, and Word always felt a little informal.

Mindnodes tend to look like crazy million-legged sea-creatures when they're expanded. It's a very interesting way of mapping out ideas and research. You can tag all your fiction with metadata, track various statistics, set word goals, add comments, and compile into various submission formats.Īlso, if you're a big outliner, check out MindNode. You can view a bulletin board with index cards that summarize each document. I started with the month trial of Scrivener during NaNoWriMo, and was so impressed, I shelled out the forty bucks for it.The most powerful thing about Scrivener, for me, are the different views you can take on your fiction. They made a free version, so you can get a taste of the environment it gives you. Ommwriter gives you a lot of control over that- keystroke noises, background sounds, etc. I'm a really auditory person, and I rely on music and background noises to get me into a writing space. I use Ommwriter in conjuction with, because it gives you a nice atmosphere to just churn writing out.
