Scrivener as a proposal writing tool
Scrivener cork board in action
I have to write a number of proposals this week. My work on these proposals is mainly about technical implementation and feature benefits. I am an outliner. I make lists, I love white-boards. I also find that I tend to write from inside-to-out. I start writing specific pieces of information, expand that into an outline, provide more details, and then write introduction and conclusion text. Up to this point I have done this in Wiki and/or Textmate. Recently, however, I had stumbled upon Scrivener and decided to give it a chance. Scrivener is a tool for writing; whether a screenplay or a research paper, Scrivener wants to help you. I’ve only used it for three days so far, but the cork-board feature has fit nicely into my workflow. So far I like it, although I do feel like I’m either not using it to it’s potential.
