Scrivener ~ My Choice For Writing Software

Today I formally introduce my partnership with Scrivener.  I've been using this program on Window for years, and while I've been a partner of Scrivener for some time, it's time to blow Scrivener's horn. 

Grow Your Manuscript Your Way 
At Scrivener’s heart is a simple but powerful ring-binder metaphor that allows you to write, research and arrange long documents by breaking them into smaller sections. Each section is integrated into a project outline, meaning that you can step back and work with an overview, and restructuring is as easy as drag and drop. Your research is always within reach, because Scrivener allows you to import almost any kind of file and view it right alongside whatever you’re writing. Scrivener is fundamentally about getting words onto the page, though, so its familiar editor and formatting features ensure that writers feel right at home.

And when you’re ready to share your work, you can export to Word or create beautiful-looking ebooks and PDF files.

This is exactly the reason I use this program. Everything I need is in one place. And I can add templates, thus I can design Scrivener to meet my needs.
