She knows nothing about writing or software for writing. Now I have to be nice to her the rest of this year, she earned it. One of the best gifts the wife has given me. It doesn't write the story for you, but its outlining features sure work better than random notes all over the place on my computer and writing notebooks. It really lines up everything for you and sets up an outline that will keep you on a logical track. I have had the most fun with this feature. The scene editor creates a great visual of who, what, where, and when things are taking place in your chapters. Reminds me a little of a more complex flow chart diagram. Character creation is simple and I really enjoy how you can chart out relationships between characters. The timeline it creates if really helpful also. I like how you can plan events and create locations that can be added to any chapter or scene.
Scrivener was just not my cup of tea, it wasn't as organized in my opinion. I have been playing around ever since and find it outstanding in regards to having a very detailed outline for your story. The program is as good as the reviews and users say and well worth your money. I'm convinced my problem is unique to maybe just me. My problems notwithstanding, I strongly encourage you to buy this program. My last hope before looking for an alternative is to ask here whether anyone has had similar issues, and if so, did you find a solution? He says, and I believe him, that he knows of no one else who has this issue. The program creator has been great attempting to help me sort this out. He couldn't which suggests there is a conflict within my system that is causing the problem. I've also sent my content file to the program developer to see if he could duplicate the issue. I've reinstalled the program, I've tried with no other programs or browsers open, but no luck. I can be in a chapter or developing a character or event and things just stop. I can't detect a repeatable pattern when it freezes. When I reopen I can begin again with no loss of content. By freeze I mean the cursor in whatever I am doing stops functioning, however I am still able to save and close.
The good news is, what I know about the program I really like, with the bad news being it regularly freezes requiring shutdown and restarts.
