I’ve been working on the excerpts for my draft and noticed when in a chapter excerpt there is a navigation menu at the bottom of the screen to jump to specific chapters. However, I noticed mine was all in the wrong order. Thinking this may be something to do with the chapter heading text, I added a chapter number to the start of each, but that didn’t fix it.
Is this a known bug?
I’d attach a screenshot, but it doesn’t look like you can in these forums.
I started off using Pages, but I have now switched to Scrivener, which I highly recommend. It was clearly designed with writers in mind, and makes it simple to create finished books in a variety of formats.
A dwarven magus must enter a world he grew up only hearing of. As he strives to find his place and faces numerous dangers (and at least one too many gnomes) his naivete in life and love may bring more danger than any enemy ever could.
I’m curious what people are using - from the basic, like Google Docs, to the specialised, like Scrivener.
I’ve been using Scrivener for a while (windows and mac), but am not 100% satisfied. I love having all of my work for a project in once place (I tend to create wiki-style resources to track everything), and I love working on scenes separately before compiling them into a cohesive document. I also love that it has pre-formatted styles for manuscripts, ebooks, paperback, etc. However, there are a lot of features I don’t use or need, and — quite frankly — it is ugly.
I’ve played with Write! a little — they are pretty new on the scene (windows only). Beautiful app with some great features, although when I last tried it (beta) it was a little light-on in regards to all the features I would want.
Bibisco looks interesting, but haven’t actually tried it yet.
Anyway, I was curious to throw the question out there and see what people’s favourites are. It would be interesting to hear not just what you use, but how you use it.
