Dabble let’s you customize your experience a bit, but this is set in the personal tab on the upper right. This lets you decide the set up of your project as you work on it. Project settings are set by clicking the cleverly names “project settings” icon at the top left of the screen. Yikes! Nope, not at all, simply click and drag that new scene into place. Because you know what needs to be written, you write it right there, in Chapter 8. So on the fly you add in a new scene, for chapter 2 but it lands in Chapter 8. Let’s imaging that you have 12 chapters in a current project and while you are in Chapter 8 you realize that you will need a scene added back in chapter 2 to make your current scene make sense. You can add a new scene in the plot section by clicking the note card or by clicking on any chapter and selection “add new scene.”Īdding a new chapter is accomplished in much the same manner, though one must click the top most file- the project name and select add a chapter. I’ve found this a great way to keep myself focused on that particular scene. This shows up on the right hand side of the screen as you work and gives a good idea of what the current chapter and scene you are working on. At the start of each chapter and scene you are given a spot to write a short line about the scene. This wasn’t much of an issue for me in my use.Ī thing that I have found especially useful is the “Scene Notes” feature. Though if you move your cursor via touchpad or mouse the window enters active mode again. In full screen mode the Dabble interface obscures everything and then grays out. I also find the distraction free mode to work very well, especially when I’m out and about on my laptop and don’t have a second screen going. From there it can be easily moved to another cloud service like Dropbox or Docs. Once you click the button it gives you the option to change the file name and where to save it. Though I admit that I’m someone who doesn’t trust software to be right all the time and I saved Word copies of my project to my machine pretty frequently.Įxporting a document to Word or Text file is as easy as clicking the right button. I have to admit that this feature really made me feel secure about the safety of my project. It would save locally and once I was back in distraction mode, it would let me know that the project was saved locally, it would also let me know when it would update to the cloud. The wifi there was a joke and bumped me off repeatedly and often. I noticed very little functionality drop off when I wrote during my lunch breaks at my old DayJob. Let me start with what I like.ĭabble has an app that works offline and stores copies of your project locally, which automatically saves to the Dabble servers/cloud.
