![]() To work on any scene in any order, you just click on it. This is brilliant and, to me, the absolutely best reason for using Scrivener.It keeps all your scenes for the whole project visible at once in a tree structure. I break it in two in part to highlight the scene management aspect of it. This and the next feature is part of an overall tool called a binder that organizes all your work into tree structures that are always visible. It is a good word processor, but not one I would use if I weren't working in this environment.Ģ.

I will say up front that I will continue to use Scrivener in my tool box but that I will not depend on it for everything and why. ![]() I will share what I think is good about Scrivener, what I think falls short, and what alternatives I have and still use and why.

As if not loving Scrivener means I'm not a real writer.
