I also like the cork-board view of the scenes. There's no cutting and pasting and no huge Word files to manipulate. Scrivener makes it easy to drag and drop the scenes to re-order the scenes. So for the Prophecy work in progress I had all these scenes but it was only in the 2nd edit that I decided on the order they needed to go in. I'm already plotting novel #3 and have maybe 5 scenes I could set down right now, but I wouldn't have a clue where they go in the story yet. I write in sporadic scenes, not in a linear fashion so the final scene is often one of the first I write. If this was the only feature of Scrivener, it would still be enough for me! No, I'm not an affiliate but I truly do believe in the product! (1) You can write in scenes then drag and drop to re-order.
Here are 3 reasons you should be using Scrivener (which is on Mac and PC now so you have no excuse.) It's just US$49 and you can use it for all your books, fiction and non-fiction as well as academic publications and loads more. It will convert you and make your writing life a whole lot easier, I promise! I used Scrivener happily without reading the Help (because I hate reading the Help) but then I found David Hewson's ‘ Writing a Novel with Scrivener‘ which I highly recommend.
I am now entirely converted and am also an evangelist for the product. It's been a truly life-changing experience after the dreadful cutting and pasting process in MS Word that plagued my last novel, Pentecost. I used Scrivener for my latest book, Prophecy.
