A colleague shared a post and, against my better judgement, I installed the trial. Some first impressions from a Scrivener lifer, for what they are worth.
What I like. Muse is explicit that it will not write my prose. That was the entire reason I tried it. I have no interest in a machine finishing my sentences, but I will happily let one ask me an awkward question about my own book. The Split editor, two chapters side by side, is also exactly how I revise.
What I miss. There is no bringing a Scrivener project in directly. You export the manuscript from Scrivener as a Word file and import that. It worked, and the chapters came through intact, but it is the manuscript only. Fifteen years of synopses and notes stayed behind in the binder, which I suppose is precisely what I asked for.
Too early for a verdict. I shall report back if I'm still here at the end of the month.
