New Favorite Tool

I am a writer and a genealogist. I purchased Scrivener, because I was interested in its index card “Corkboard” view for organizing my information. As I worked my way through the tutorial, I realized that this is a much more powerful tool for organizing enormous amounts of data than I had realized. The Collections function is a fabulous way of putting together information for analysis. For example, in my genealogy files I can create a collection of all of my notes dealing with families who can be found in Stafford County, Virginia and another for those found in Fauquier County, Virginia. Before I had to choose between organizing by surname or by place, now I can have the best of both worlds. By doing a search, I can create a collect that puts together all of my To Do lists, or for all parts of my writing with a status of Rough Draft to remind myself of what still needs reworking. The split screen view alows me to compare drafts, or easily cut or copy and paste from one document to another. And there’s so much more.

This is now my favorite computer app of all time! Thank you Literature & Latte for making my work so much easier to manage.
