Playing With Scriptito as a Chromebook Alternative to Scrivener
Wrote some, developed the story some, and looked for ways to organize the story more efficiently. I always get stuck at the organization part. It hinders and even halts my writing process.
I was hoping to just dive in and do some writing, but the story is becoming so multifaceted I didn't know where to jump in. Or how.
This is when I have typically been prone to putting off a story or just starting on a new idea. So investing time into some kind of organization system, while not time spent on the actual story, is time well spent.
The problem is my Chromebook, in a sense.
I have really come to love writing on it. It has become my preferred way for writing in general. I like the ease and simplicity. I can log on fast and get to work. It minimizing distraction for me. I even created a separate account within the Chromebook that is solely focused on writing. No other easily accessible web distractions (well, not AS easily accessible).
One big drawback is not being able to use Scrivener, which I have only fairly recently discovered. No one can deny the utility. But there is no web version, and I cannot download the software onto the Chromebooks. So I've been looking for and experimenting with alternatives.
I just found what may be the best online alternative yet: Scriptito.
I've been playing around with it some, and I think it may be the tool I have been looking for. Still some kinks to work out.
I am liking it so far, but the jury is still out.
