My favorite Scrivener feature without any doubt is the research folder of the Binder. As you can see with one of my WIPs, I use it for the outlining process, images, documents, PDFs and so forth. For several years now I’ve used Scrivener as the hub for my research, but I discovered I needed something else to store all the material I gathered.

Most word processors and text editors aimed at writers assume the creative process will take place in linear form; that is, they assume that the writer knows how his or her work will begin and will start at the beginning and continue through until reaching the end. Planning and restructuring is therefore forced into a separate workflow—the writer must either plan before be Most word processors and text editors aimed at writers assume the creative process will take place in linear form; that is, they assume that the writer knows how his or her work will begin and will start at the beginning and continue through until reaching the end. Planning and restructuring is therefore forced into a separate workflow—the writer must either plan before beginning and keep track of hundreds of different files using the computer or face the laborious task of cutting and pasting numerous chunks of text to restructure a long piece of work at the end.

For shorter pieces of writing, this is not a massive problem, but for longer texts—such as novels or academic theses—the writer can often find him- or herself battling against the tools of their trade. Over the past few years, a number writing solutions have appeared, aimed at those who don’t write in a linear fashion. All have pros and cons, and writers with varying styles of working fortunately now have a wider choice.

Scrivener is one such nonlinear tool. Scrivener was developed because no other writing environment quite provided all of the features required for the sort of writing that demands easy access to research, a quick overview of numerous documents and the easy restructuring of swathes of text.

'Bartleby the Scrivener' Summary The narrator of 'Bartleby the Scrivener' is the Lawyer, who runs a law practice on Wall Street in New York. The Lawyer begins by noting that he is an 'elderly man,' and that his profession has brought him 'into more than ordinary contact with what would seem an interesting and somewhat singular set of men the law-copyists, or scriveners.' While the Lawyer knows many interesting stories of such scriveners, he bypasses them all in favor of telling the story of Bartleby, whom he finds to be the most interesting of all the scriveners.

Bartleby is, according to the Lawyer, 'one of those beings of whom nothing is ascertainable, except from the original sources, and, in his case, those were very small.' Before introducing Bartleby, the Lawyer describes the other scriveners working in his office at this time. The first is Turkey, a man who is about the same age as the Lawyer (around sixty). Turkey has been causing problems lately. He is an excellent scrivener in the morning, but as the day wears on—particularly in the afternoon—he becomes more prone to making mistakes, dropping ink plots on the copies he writes.

He also becomes more flushed, with an ill temper, in the afternoon. The Lawyer tries to help both himself and Turkey by asking Turkey only to work in the mornings, but Turkey argues with him, so the Lawyer simply gives him less important documents in the afternoon.

The second worker is Nippers, who is much younger and more ambitious than Turkey. At twenty-five years old, he is a comical opposite to Turkey, because he has trouble working in the morning. Until lunchtime, he suffers from stomach trouble, and constantly adjusts the height of the legs on his desk, trying to get them perfectly balanced. Gotovie dizajn dlya vishivaljnoj mashini.

In the afternoons, he is calmer and works steadily. The last employee—not a scrivener, but an errand-boy—is Ginger Nut. His nickname comes from the fact that Turkey and Nippers often send him to pick up ginger nut cakes for them. The Lawyer spends some time describing the habits of these men and then introduces Bartleby. Bartleby comes to the office to answer an ad placed by the Lawyer, who at that time needed more help.

The Lawyer hires Bartleby and gives him a space in the office. At first, Bartleby seems to be an excellent worker. He writes day and night, often by no more than candlelight. His output is enormous, and he greatly pleases the Lawyer.

One day, the Lawyer has a small document he needs examined. He calls Bartleby in to do the job, but Bartleby responds: 'I would prefer not to.' This answer amazes the Lawyer, who has a 'natural expectancy of instant compliance.'
