![]() ![]() I can see how it would to others, but again, someone would be giving up a lot just to get that.) (Yes, Scrivener can output to ePUB, and YW5 can't but obviously, that's not functionality that matters to me at all. No, it isn't all "pretty pretty" like Scrivener but man, it does a hell of a lot more. In assessing all these programs, I've been consistently surprised at seeing just how poorly they really stack up against it. One thing I've noticed-I think because it's not flashy, it's easy for people to underestimate just how powerful YWriter5 really IS. Still doesn't have everything that YW5 has, although, of all the other programs, it has the MOST of what YW5 has. Also, it's a teeny bit hard to judge, because in the demo version, you can't save anything, so it's hard to put it to a decent test. (And, for those of you that thought that YW5 is busy, oh, man, wait until you see this one!). ![]() There really is something about the interface that I find very off-putting. I still haven't really done much with the other one, WIN5. That would be where I would see it fitting in with someone's writing methodologies. I think (again, not claiming I spent 5 hours with it I spent about two) it's primarily a digital method of using what are effectively index cards, on a big "board," for brainstorming. But for me, it's a no-go.Īgain, it has basically none of the awesome features that I love about YW5 no scene goal-conflict-outcome/reaction-dilemma-choice I didn't see any timelining I didn't notice anything particularly special for characters. (I'm sure someone will now pop up and say, "you don't write in them, you do that over there," and tell me about some functionality I missed.) I did take the tutorial. The blocks themselves have some neat features (for example, you can search for every block that has the word "blue" in it, and change the color of the block-say, to blue), but I can't imagine writing in the damned things, as an actual manuscript. ![]() For those kinds of visual creatives, it's likely great for that sort of brainstorming, etc.īut, man.it doesn't do much else, IMHO. I think if someone uses index cards NOW, pasted up on, say, a wall or a corkboard, then this would be awesome, especially for outlining scenes. So, I downloaded and tried Writer's Blocks, and it would be hard for me to say just how underwhelmed I was. ![]()
