Scrivener rocks because it can handle ANYTHING having to do with the organization and printing of your book.

I also use it as a content-management system: each new project gets a Scrivener file, and all the bits and pieces get a file each as I develop them.

Be sure to use the easy date feature, and date all your entries: CMD-CTRL-SHFT-D puts in today’s date and time. This keeps all your pieces time-stamped.

I do all my blog posts, the gigantic novel I’m writing, short stories, even taxes – anything that would have ended up before with a number of paper files stuffed with junk.

The best part: you can search EVERYTHING at once if you need to – helps find the pesky bit somewhere you know has the word ‘pirate’ in it.

I absolutely love Scrivener. I just wish that the Windows version of Scrivener had all the perks that the Mac version has.

Good way to put it – I find that between Scrivener and Evernote, that’s pretty true!

LLove Scrivener! Think I’d die if they told me they were going to take it away from me. It is super easy once you get started and so many great research features too.

Yep — it’s probably WAY better to write in Scrivener, right?

I love Scrivener, too. I started my second book using MS Word and moved the book to Scrivener so I could finish. It was so easy to convert files for Kindle and Nook!

I use Dropbox, too, as a backup for my work.

I’ve been using Scrivener for years now and absolutely love it. I can’t imagine using anything else to write with. I’ve created a couple of novels, some short stories, and even some flash fiction with it. Best piece of writing software there is, and a great value for the money. Can you tell I’m a fan?

Regarding #2, I save to Dropbox and back up to the non-shared part of my drive. That way, my work is available on every machine I have by default. I have had no problems with this since the beta.
