This morning I finally got around to figuring out some things about Scrivener and quite frankly it looks like a program that could save my academic soul. I just wish it was available for Windows too so that I could download it to my work computer.

Using Scrivener is a bit of a revelatory experience. It makes writing and researching a much easier process. After using it for just a short time I wanted to wad Microsoft Word into a tiny little ball and throw it into the trash.

Then again, it looks like I may need to use Scrivener in conjunction with a word processor, so for the time being I’ll restrain my violent instincts.

In the process of looking up information about Scrivener I also came across some other writing programs that look interesting: Journler and Avenir.

Here’s an article I found about essential Macintosh apps that might be worth further perusal.
