Quick Summary: Describing my favorite writing program — Scrivener — and its strengths for writing of longer academic texts.

There are many ways to get your content onto a Kindle. But it's not so simple finding a way that produces satisfactory results. For Mythik Imagination #1, I used an .html template (shout out to Derek J. Canyon "Thanks for the template!") and formatted by hand. It seemed to work pretty well, but is tedious if you have to do a lot of unusual formatting. For instance I needed a lot of italics, so it was a pain to add the many, many, many HTML tags by hand.

My goal was to find a program I could use to write all my drafts, then be able to export to send to the proofreader/editor, then paste in the final locked words, then export to a nicely formatted and professional looking Kindle file, ready for uploading.

There is a veritable panoply of mind-mapping software out there, but what’s different about Scapple is that it doesn’t force you to make connections. It doesn’t expect you to start out with one central idea and branch everything else off that. Instead, you are free to write anywhere on the virtual paper. Individual notes can be as short or as long as you like. Scapple allows you to get all of your ideas down, move them around, and find and make the connections as you go along. And it’s designed to make the whole process just as quick and fluid as it is on paper.

The snapshots feature makes revising texts and writing with Scrivener much less messy. Take the pain out of rewriting with this really neat feature.
