Siren songĪs the months went by, I kept toiling in Scrivener on my work in progress (WIP).
ULYSSES VS SCRIVENER SOFTWARE
Having not been following macOS née OS X software design Kewl Stuff for the aforementioned quite some time away, I didn’t see anything wrong with the appearance of v.2.x, but there was little question that v.3.x was definitely a major improvement and added many even cooler features along with the more updated look-’n’-feel.
ULYSSES VS SCRIVENER UPGRADE
Honestly don’t recall if that was a factor, though.īesides, this Scrivener app seemed to be all I could ever want, and it was going to be getting a major upgrade in just a few months after that which would address any lingering concerns about its design, which hadn’t changed much in the previous six years. There was also this thing out there called Ulysses, but that was back when it was receiving a ton of Internet hate for going to a subscription plan, and I didn’t pay it much mind. It was my first encounter with writing software that was designed to make it easy to move around scenes and chapters, much less do all the other cool things I have since learned exist among the numerous creative writing-targeted apps for both Macs and iOS.
When I started writing the aforementioned novel in late August, 2017, it was only a few weeks since my joyful rejoining of the Mac universe after a painfully long time away, and, when I started to consider how I would write the book that had been bouncing around my head for quite a while (although it now is ’waaaay different from that original story), my initial search for the best app to do the job made it reasonably clear my best choice was something called Scrivener. But, grant a tired old man his tired metaphor, will ya? Ah ’ppreciate it. There’s kind of a holy war out there involving a lot of writing apps, especially for us lucky Mac users, and I’ve been going back and forth between probably the two biggest combatants: Scrivener and Ulysses.Īnd, truth be known, it seems silly to call them “combatants” since, as nearly as I can tell, the two companies behind these apps have a lot of mutual respect for each other, as well they should. Well, that hasn’t happened, but at least now I really think I’ve got all my plot holes figured out. As I write this in late September, 2018, it’s a little over a year since I began writing a novel I really, truly thought I’d have finished by now.
