Scrivener Introduction Video

I have recommended Scrivener — for me the best writing software ever — multiple times. It is hard to give a correct impression of the advantages, but the posting Scrivener — A perfect program for dissertation writing tries to give an overview. It is my most frequently read posting. However, some people might like a video and there is an excellent one linked on the Scrivener Trial page, or available on YouTube. The creator of Scrivener, Keith Blount, gives a 10 minute introduction of the program:

Highly recommended, especially if you combine it with a good outliner like Circus Ponies Notebook, and available for Mac and PC (Windows).

Hello,

you have mentioned Circus Ponies Notebook as an outliner. Scrivener has an integrated outliner – what are the advantages of outlining with Circus Ponies Notebook’s compared to outlining with Scrivener?

Greetings,
Carsten

Hello Carsten,

thank you for the question, it’s a very good one. I have written a posting to answer this question: Outliner in Scrivener vs Outliner in Circus Ponies Notebook — Structure (Scrivener) vs Content (CPN) Outlines. Hope it answers the question 🙂

All the best

Daniel

A comment for those seeking to use this site for personal gain: Given the increase in requests, let me be clear. I write on this blog because I want to. It’s my hobby, my playground. Sometimes people point me to interesting products/services and I write about them. But any request regarding ads or sponsored placements ends up the trash without a reply. And if you think something would be of interest, differentiate yourself from the spammers by referring to a posting — in an intelligent way. (I get enough auto-generated mails to identify them immediately.)

BTW, posts can get updated after I published them if I spot spelling errors (not a native speaker) or think a different wording might improve precision and clarity.

This blog is not focused on a single topic, or method. As long as it is relevant to improving creativity (or allowing it in the first place), it's fair game.
Some postings on this blog deal with freedom, as I think that we need freedom of thought, of speech, of association, etc. pp. to solve mankind's problems. Thus, some postings may seem a bit remote when it comes to organizing creativity. Freedom is, however, the bedrock of creativity.
The heterogeneity of the postings can make reading this blog a bit cumbersome, at least if you are only interested in one topic. You can either use the search function (above), or use the categories or the tags to narrow down the postings you see.
