these guys are definitely getting my pennies

(when I've got the pennies to hand over, that is, but until then, at least there's the demo!)

I mean, Scrivener freaking ROCKS*. FINALLY a way to rearrange scenes and have the document rearrange itself automatically.

Why didn't I use this sooner? Oh, right, because I are an IDJIT.

* warning: somewhat largeish image, but screenshot if you want to see what has me all happy -- normally I have it larger so I can see the entirety of each notecard, but I scaled it down some so you get the gist but without everything being one-sixteenth of an inch high to fit in a normal screen-size.

[MAC ONLY; suggested winapp is pagefour.]

IT IS TEH EPIC AWESUM.

And I am not exaggerating in the least. It took me maybe about five, six minutes to figure out and since then it's been... OHHHHH. I can do THAT, too??

For someone with a brain like mine -- stuff going in all directions and a bad habit of meaning plot-points in one scene that I forget to pick up in the next scene, this ROCKS. Plus, keywords! So I only need to note who got mentioned (or who appears) in a scene in the keywords, or whatever else, and then I can track that, too.

There's a demo version that works for 30 days, and after that, I guess I'll just cry, or something. Sigh.

Ooh, I might be able to afford that after Christmas. Maybe.

Isn't it WONDERFUL?!? I love Scrivener Sooooo Muuuuch.

(Oh, and I checked out pagefour, since it's supposed to be the next closest thing for Windows. Doesn't compare. Not even close.)

I weep for myself and my PC. That looks so freaking cool.

WANTS. I've been searching for something even vaguely like on PC, and found...nothing that could really compare to Scrivener. But I'd never heard of pagefour, so thanks for the link. :)

AHAHAAH So you did go get a Mac, hunh? I was wondering, I thought I'd seen you mention it, but then I thought, wait, you've got a Dell, and thought maybe you meant Scribnr, the publishing company. (Heh.)

[kaigou.livejournal.com]

IT IS.

See, sometimes Macs are about the goodness. Wooo.

Pagefour is apparently what Scrivener recommends if you've got Win & want something at least reasonably close. I'd never heard of it before, either, myself, but I figure if Scrivener gets a lot of crying winapp people, they'd probably know best. Heh.
