#Scrivener for mac reddit windows

Aka, productive procrastination (my specialty). I'd say the only downside I've encountered so far is that it feeds my obsession with pre-planning and allows me to dedicate even more time to excessive/unnecessary organization of thoughts and ideas.

At the time of this recording, Scrivener 3 is only available for Mac, but according to the website they plan to release Scrivener 3 for windows in the future. I'm very excited about the capability for keeping images and references in a project as well, though I haven't fleshed out any of my ideas well enough to use that yet. Scrivener is available for Mac, Windows, and as an App for iOS.

I used to keep all those disparate ideas in a single Word doc and it wasn't a satisfying format. I have folders within the project for different types of writing (children's books, novels, science writing) and can give each idea its own index card or keep a running list in a single file as I see fit. I have a Scrivener project for story ideas that is open all the time, so it's super quick to hop in there and write up an idea in the right place. I also like it for keeping track of ideas. I love being able to put chapters and/or scenes in different 'files' within a project, instead of having individual Word documents stored in folders, which gets messy quickly and makes it hard to keep track of progress. No free-form corkboard, no word count tracking, no mobile apps. I like it! I like having a program that I use for my hobby writing projects that is different from what I use for work writing (Word). When I was using Scrivener 1, it was miles behind Scrivener for Mac.
