Yes, I read that, too, but there's a lot of working authors in here, so for all of us it's paid. 50 a year. Every year.

software for writing

I've not spent much time at 5000 feet in a helicopter. When I did, it was considered a luxury, as I was usually on a ferry flight to somewhere to start a job. And that 5000 feet was if the weather was good. On the other hand, as a fire pilot, hydro line pilot, slinging diamond drills, gravity survey...

Unless you're in a helicopter.

too little, too late and for too high a price

Control Panel / Programs / Programs and Features brings up the Uninstall or change a program listing. Scroll down and you'll see all your Scrivener versions listed. Right click ...

Many experienced authors, myself included, do what is called "cycling" for one-and-done output. It's nothing new or revolutionary, as I'm sure you know. That, and being capable of typing a thousand words an hour, as well as knowing story structure inside and out, will enable authors to pum...

Well then, that's it for me. * throws hands in air and stomps off in a huff *
