- STORYIST AND SCRIVENER MANUAL
the ability to name each scene in a way that triggers your memory and doesn’t appear in the manuscript itself. character card section where you can keep track of your characters’ names, descriptions, likes, dislikes, and whatever else you need to know. easy rearranging of scenes by dragging and dropping.īoth allow you to link the character card/sheet in one way or another (although I much prefer Scrivener’s method). the ability to track your word count via a target goal inspector window (more on this below). organization levels for chapters, scenes, etc. split screen viewing or single screen viewing. This allows you to keep a character sheet open while working on your manuscript, or to view any other note you have, or another part of the manuscript to make sure your details align. Very useful at times, distracting at others. numerous keyboard key shortcuts (sometimes too many, often too many to keep track of). 
the ability to selectively export your manuscript (you can select which scenes/folders/sheets you want included) in numerous document formats (.doc. scriptwriting options (I haven’t messed with these, personally, so can’t compare the two programs). easy importing ability from Word or Pages (I haven’t tried any other word processing imports personally). an iPad/iPhone app that syncs seamlessly with Dropbox with the touch of a finger (must turn on Dropbox syncing for this to work). a second/third/fourth manuscript addition option to one novel (I’m playing around with this using it for unplaced or additional written scenes, also contemplating using it as a storage for a previous draft since Storyist doesn’t track your changes like Scrivener can.). the neat ability to start a new chapter/scene/etc by two returns in the middle of your manuscript instead of having to manually insert a new scene. the ability to bookmark your manuscript. This is different from a comment, although you can name the bookmark, only a blue tag shows up in your manuscript and you have a bookmark section on the left-hand side screen that you can peruse. 
These show up in order of your addition, not in the order they appear in your manuscript (something that bothers me, actually).
STORYIST AND SCRIVENER HOW TO
(Note: I haven’t figured out how to see them in the iPad app–if I can.) However, I use this ability to mark where I left off reading or where I began and finished writing or editing for the day.
STORYIST AND SCRIVENER MANUAL
The ability to work on your project through manual syncing to Index Card or Simplenote (online or app version).a main plot thread where you can link easily to the scene where your plot point occurs. Unfortunately, Index Card was the best option for me, and it was just too hard to keep up with remembering to sync to Dropbox every time I closed my laptop for it to be dependable.
