Save 50% on Scrivener for Windows

Whether you’re writing an article for a magazine, a movie screenplay, or the next Great American Novel, there are better ways to do it than with pen and paper, or a generic word processor. Scrivener is a writer’s best friend, a piece of software created specifically with the writing and editorial process in mind.

Scrivener lets you assemble lengthy documents in an intuitive way – allowing you to storyboard your work and rearrange pieces as necessary. It provides tools for taking research notes and viewing them as you write as well. I especially love the “corkboard,” which provides a free-form area for keeping bits and pieces of research and ideas.

You can save 50% off the retail price on Scrivener for Windows in the Technabob Shop, where we’ve got it on sale for just $20(USD).

Google has already brought a pile of new fonts and templates to Google Docs this month, and it's now back with another fairly big new feature. Open a document today and you'll find a new Research tool on the side of your page (which can be toggled on and off), offering the ability to search for any topic and get results without having to leave the document you're working on. Those results can include images, quotes and other basic information that's delivered right in the sidebar -- and, of course, the usual search results that you can open in a new tab or window if you want to dive deeper on a subject. Hit the source link below for all the details on how to use the new tool, or simply fire up a new document to try it out for yourself.
