The relative dir structure isn't the same. That means that the files are actually still in the cloud, on the server, and not really on the laptop. The Thinkpad Yoga tablet is "seen" as a tablet/phone, rather than a laptop, so I am forced to use the Dropbox "mobile" app. I mean-if someone is OCD (ahem, like someone typing this post) and needs to outline everything to death, using a (somewhat-more) visual method is helpful, in seeing things at a glance than YWriter's scene-structure didn't explain my problem clearly. And you *can* use it as an outlining tool, although I'm a bit spoiled with using either Word or (for this limited purpose) LSBXE, both of which of course use indentation for outlining, which to me is more helpful than YWriter's lack (for that). I know that this is one of the reasons that many folks love LSBXE/Scrivener, because they have "everything" in one place-research, outlining tools, writing "part" (for lack of a better word), images, blabbety-blab, but honestly, for writing scenes, I find YWriter to be pretty damn good. When I work on my laptop, trying to flip back and forth between LSBXE/Word/YWriter is like.fuhgeddaboudit. I do find that now that I've gotten deeper into my outlining (think more Ludlum-esque outlining than pantsing), I'm a bit frustrated with everything I have.
#Storymill vs. scrivener software#
If you have a PC, there are some timeline software programs available that are not available for the Mac, but I haven't tested them.ĭoes WIN5 do the timelining automatically, based on the scenes and characters in each? That's what YW does, and why I like it so much. StoryMill has a very, very limited timeline, which is not very functional or diverse, in my opinion. It's available for both PCs and Mac.Īeon Timeline is only available for the Mac. You might want to look at WriteItNow 5, which does have a timeline.
