yWriter or Scrivener

Is Scrivener worth blowing $40 on?

No.

No. It started out strong but it's a total mess the last few years. But it is worth getting a free or majorly discounted copy. They used to do sales and giveaways and student/educator/writer discounts. I dunno if they still do tho.

I'd say check out the trial for Scrivener to see if you like it. Because I personally love it, but some of my other writer friends swear by yWriter, so it's all a matter of preference I guess.

I used a free trial for a month? I liked it fine but didn't miss it when it was gone. Wouldn't spend $40 on it unless there was some particular feature I really, really wanted.

I love it, but I would get it during NaNo or something to get a discount.

Not familiar with yWriter, but if you're really into writing a certain way, with a bunch of notecards and storyboarding kind of stuff and other bells and whistles, and you don't mind investing a good chunk of time in tutorials (the "short" one on youtube was seriously an hour long), Scrivener might be worth it to you. I keep maybe a couple pages of basic notes just so I won't forget anything, so it's way too much program for me. I have an original trilogy of standalone but interconnected books that I keep track of with a chart-making program (ClickCharts, very easy and free), but that's as far as I get into that kind of thing.

Oh wow.

This is an incredibly random tangent, but I remember you - not that we particularly knew each other or anything - from the old LOST/Ben Linus fandom.

Good to see you're still out there, writing.

Oh hi! The Ben community just up and disappeared one day, very unfortunate. I've been writing forever, since that's how long it takes me. :D

I like yWriter better. You should be able to check out Scrivener for free if you want to give it a try though.

Try the 30 day free trial and see if it's worth spending the cash.

Also one of the NaNo winner things is a 50% off coupon.

yes

I like it
