Thanks in advance for any replies if it's ok to ask this here, If it's not considered good manners to mention other story writing software in this sort of comparative way on the storyist forums i apologize in advance and will just drop the topic! My initial thoughts about what these writing softwares _don't_ have in common, would be that scrivener seems very rigorously 'hierarchical structure' oriented, storymill has it's 'timeline' feature (which may not actually be as useful as it seems in a lot of cases), writer's cafe has its interesting 'storylines' method of laying out scenes in multiple threads and views, and, to my mind at least, on the initial look i've had, storyist seems the focused and 'integrated' from the point of view of producing novel manuscripts.
#STORYMILL VS. SCRIVENER PRO#
Since it would take a considerable investment of time to evaluate all four softwares in great depth, i thought i'd start instead by asking here on the storyist forums whether anyone has comparative experience with any of the other three and storyist and could give me any honest pro and cons they might have encountered? Now, to my mind, this could be either: because storyist is the most 'obvious but shallow' in terms of its available features and methods while the other three offer different sets of 'deeper but less obvious' functions and methods that may become very useful with more commitment to learning their 'whys and wherefores', or, it could be that storyist is just more well designed in terms of being a more natural fit for my personal way of thinking and working. I must say, having looked briefly in more detail at these four options, storyist is the one that seems the most immediately approachable from a 'just makes sense' point of view, for me at least. so far i've settled on storyist and the other three mentioned in the title as the most interesting looking candidates. I'm currently evaluating novel writing software for the mac with the view to adopting a main new tool for current and future projects (series of novels).
