Scrivener is an odd sounding word. I don’t know it’s origin, although I am curious. I love unusual words–some so useful, some that make you scratch your head and wonder why they exist at all. All I know about this particular word is that it would have been used to describe you centuries ago–Neil Dixon, Scrivener (professional scribe)!

Further thought—actually, you wouldn’t be a scrivener. They didn’t initiate anything. They didn’t get to use their own ideas. Okay, I feel like Gilda Radner, saying “Never mind”.
I’ve just started using Scrivener, too. It’s a great program, but it takes a little geting used to. The Binder, for example, is a little bit different way of organizing information than I’m usd to. Don’t get me wrong–it’s quite useful. The ability to keep one’s research immediately at hand in its own Research folder, for example, is awesome. I haven’t been using it long, but I think it’ll be my tool of choice.

Also, not one of my better efforts, but I’ve put up a pretty brief review of my own.
