    I don't know Jer's Novel Writer.

    I know there is a similar piece of software for Mac and Windows that I've seen quite a few people using, but I don't find it all that attractive to me (I'm all about open source). And there is another piece of software that has a native Linux version I looked at, but I didn't care for it.

    Novel Writer looks like a good piece of software that really mixes all of the elements that I want into a single package.

    Yeah, Scrivner was one of the two I was thinking of. But I can't remember the name of the other one.

    I've gotten used to LyX, and can't really look back. Word and LibreOffice are kind of the antithesis of what I want too use when I'm writing.

    I was using vim as my writing tool for a while. I did that using make files and pandoc to produce epub / pdf versions of the book I was working on.

    But I decided that I wanted to get away from the nerdy stuff and just focus on my writing instead. Hence going back to LyX - and now looking at Novel Writer.
