760: Production Workflow Check-In

@MitchWagner As they say, “It’s complicated.” :slightly_smiling_face:

I admit I’ve struggled mightily to settle on a writing app.

The good news is that I have settled on the app for book projects, Scrivener.

As to other writing, I’ve vacillated between Ulysses and Pages. I have a long list of Pros and Cons for either choice. My difficulty stems from the multiple purposes of my writing. If my writing were entirely for reading, I would use Ulysses exclusively.

However, I write for school communications, presentations at work, conferences, reports for the board, and training I do for a national foundation. The presentations include images of slides so that when I present, I know when to switch slides. I write white papers that include graphs, images, tables, footnotes, and bibliographies. Additionally, I write blog articles, which also include images and citations. Ulysses can handle all of this, but I frequently must clean up the final product’s formatting. The problem with Pages is that it takes many mouse clicks to embed and arrange images, which will sometimes shift if I change text, add tables, etc.

I’m thinking that Ulysses + DT is ultimately my best options but I’m still struggling to make a final decision. :thinking:

I wish someone would put me out of my misery and tell me which one to use, or offer an alternative. :rofl:
