Cool tool for writers: Scrivener

It seems like every writer has their preferred tool. Maybe it's a particular kind of pen. Or a certain kind of paper. Or maybe, like David Sedaris, you prefer to use a typewriter.

But regardless of how you get yourself going, in this day and age you're eventually going to have to get it into an electronic format of some kind. Even Sedaris, who has written at some length about his aversion to computers, seems to have relented and joined the ranks of the computered...unless someone else does his Facebooking for him, which is quite possible. But I digress.

When it comes to putting our work on the computer, our only option for decades has been word processing software: Microsoft Word, Pages, Open Office Writer, etc. But now there is something different: Scrivener. And friends, let me tell you, it is a beautiful thing.
