Scrivener was originally written for Mac but is now available on Windows as well. Literature and Latte (the company behind Scrivener and Scapple) was originally established in 2006 by someone just like you (Keith Blount): a writer who found that the existing word processing programmes weren’t adequate for his needs.

But what you may or may not be aware of, is an incredibly useful app for helping you write your novel: Scrivener. With the advent of tablets, you can now writer quick notes with your finger and convert them to typed text (depending on the neatness of your handwriting). There are countless apps for helping people with their research, automatically adding web pages or clips you find interesting or helpful for you to come back later. Having said that, life isn’t so bad – imagine if you still had to hand-write or typewrite your entire book. And let’s face it, traditional word processing programmes (such as Word) are just not cut out for it. Whether you are an intensive planner and plotter or not, structuring and writing a novel can be difficult. This is mostly the case when it comes to novel – or any long-form of written work. When you get past the internal difficulties of the creative process, you are then faced with far more prosaic difficulties. Of course, that’s not always the case, some artistically minded people have egos the size of the universe… that’s just not me. Low self-esteem and creativity often go hand-in-hand. Other times I manage to write thousands of words in one sitting but when I read back over it, I’m horrified at the trash I’ve written. There are plenty of nights where I stare at the blank screen or piece of paper, cursing myself for not having any ideas or an inability to put my ideas into words. Like many, writing is almost a compulsion with me, but that doesn’t mean it brings me endless joys.
