Writing software for novelists

I am a novelist and I'm so happy with this new software called Scrivener. If you are a serious writer, this tool has so many features for organizing your research, outlining and revising. It's available at <http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.html>. I don't have any connection to this company, but I would like to see this guy survive with his software business and keep writing and updating this tool.

I've had my eye on it for possible review for some time. I agree it's
intriguing! m.

Scrivener's great. I've been using it since it was in beta, and
several friends who are novelists use it now as well. It's got some
tiny bugs, but the developer is very quick to fix things.

Re: Writing software for novelists

Scrivener is the best writing software I have ever used. One feature I particularly like is 'target setting', where you can set a target word count for a session, a chapter or a complete project - it's a powerful driver to get the piece written.
