Re: Could people comment on Scrivener?

[Jim Jones <han4yu3 -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Because of my screenwriting activities, I have used it, and I like it. I
still will use it.

A couple of years ago I took a very useful screenwriting course and
Scrivener was a recommended tool for the course.

It was easy to learn.

My impression was that Scrivener could easily be adapted to use for other
things. Books, for example, and not just scripts.
