Let’s face it: most of us geeks want to be writers. I, personally, want to write pornographic Monchichi fan fiction, but you might have a novel in you or even a tech book. Here’s what you gotta do. Go get yourself a copy of Scrivener and start plotting out your Dune meets Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whisle Stop Cafe magnum opus. This program allows you to place all of your ideas on virtual note cards that can hold anything from character sketches to entire scenes. Mix and match all you want and buck the linear editing style we’ve all grown to hate. Because you can “fill in” your story, you don’t have to worry about looking at a long blank screen and can place your ideas into proper perspective. It’s only $39.99 online.
