WriteItNow5 has everything WriteWayPro has and more great stuff specifically aimed to suit the needs of a writer of fiction novels. For me WriteItNow works. I used Scrivener for two years and then thankfully I found WIN5.

I too have bought Scrivener but find it too much of a learning curve. I'm going to try WWP - but I write fiction and nonfiction - will this work for both?<br />Thanks<br />Jeffjeff pearsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525657705200031827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587550236172295383.post-4271510491988875992011-11-15T20:03:06.049-05:002011-11-15T20:03:06.049-05:00Both of them had a trial period, and WriteWay was ...Both of them had a trial period, and WriteWay was the program written by the husband of a romance author. :DDana Marie Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658055694533650313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587550236172295383.post-83491855090966093832011-11-15T20:01:45.368-05:002011-11-15T20:01:45.368-05:00I have heard of an author whose husband designed a...I have heard of an author whose husband designed a program for her - cannot remember who that was though and I also think that the program is for sale as well - think it was for Mac.<br /><br />I like the try before you buy kind of program so that you can really see what it does and what you are getting. Were any of the programs you used try before you buy? <br /><br />I am soooo glad that Scrivener didn't eat up your work on The Hob - I cannot wait for this book!!!<br /><br />I have always wondered what authors used - in my work I still do a lot of writing by hand to get my ideas down. When I do my reviews I type in word documents and then revise - love copy, cut and paste!!<br /><br />I just finished Maggie's Grove book one - glad to see that book two is in the works!!! Can't wait for more Dragos!!<br /><br />Love your work!<br /><br />SabineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587550236172295383.post-55001857567554497492011-11-15T18:59:11.253-05:002011-11-15T18:59:11.253-05:00I use Storyist, but it's a Mac program.

I am a Mac person, I've also used PC's, but I couldn't figure it out. I would write something, save it and then click to a different screen, but when I tried to find the stuff i had just saved, it was nowhere to be found. I think that I will stick with Storyist.Nikki C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07036572724141957470noreply@blogger.com
