Scrivener for Windows

I stumbled upon the beta version of Scrivener for Windows while flailing around trying to outline the NaNo ms. I've always wanted Scrivener but, alas, don't own a mac. Everyone in the house has a macbook, except me, even the kids. So unfair. Though it's true that I'm quite fond of my battered (what IS this thing??) um, Gateway laptop, and have passed up an upgrade a time or two. Can't think of anything I envy on the mac anyway, except Scrivener. So Yay and Yippie for a windows version at long last! I love the corkboard concept already. It's perfect. And it saves me from pasting long rolls of paper on my walls like so:The only problem is that the beta runs out on November 7th. I'm not clear what exactly happens next. We're supposed to provide feedback on the beta, I think, and maybe (please, please, pleeease, Literature and Latte) they'll have a new version available for trial or sale by then!

Hi Nandini

I was wandering about in the blogosphere and landed on your blog. So nice to meet another YA writer. I dont have experience using Scrivener. Good luck with it.
