So you<strong>'re</strong> working on a novel, too, eh? :-) I found this post in Googling Scrivener reviews--I'm a fan and recent convert, myself--and have found myself curious to see what others say about it. I expected to use corkboard a lot when I started using Scrivener, since I use 3x5 cards (without colors, for learning style reasons) when I have to go the manual route. To my suprise, I seem to use outliner and the pretty labels more. *scratches head* *rereads all the years/ages you mention and quadruple-checks her math* *shakes head* Wow, this proofreader/copyeditor is impressed.

My husband is a writer and he has a copy of Scrivener. Being that he is blooking (two novels, one serial, and a bunch of short stories) there was no easy mechanism for him to transform what he had done in Scrivener to his blog. If he was continuing to concentrate his efforts solely on writing and not be concerned about publishing to the web, hands down Scrivener is the best tool for the job. But, that ability is lacking when someone wants to take what they've produced and publish it. Hence, he is now a die hard user of MacJournal. Everything has been converted from Scrivener over to MacJournal and this is now where he writes primarily. Not its intended use, but for quick and easy publishing ability in a blook format - definitely the way to go! Have to put in my two cents. My husband is a writer and he has a copy of Scrivener.

I've been a Mac user since 2003 and feel the same about Scrivener. I came across your post while Googling for Scrivener templates that others may have created, particularly for various types of research projects. Still searching. Thanks for the thoughts, Nick.
