But \u2013 after working with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leanpub.com\">leanpub<\/a> tools for the last few weeks (and being impressed time after time), I felt bad not giving them any money for their tools. As a result, I decided to make the minimum price free, but allow people to pay if they wanted (as I\u2019m already overpaid for a job I love, I\u2019m donating all of the profits to the <a href=\"http:\/\/cancer.org\" target=\"_blank\">American Cancer Society<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>I also found that <a href=\"http:\/\/literatureandlatte.com\">Scrivener<\/a> was a perfect ally in this little project. I bought a copy a while back, but haven\u2019t done much \u201cserious\u201d writing recently. After struggling a bit to figure out what should go where, I decided to give Scrivener a full test run, and it worked perfectly. My colleagues in Office won\u2019t like me saying this, but my <em>next<\/em> book will also be written entirely in Scrivener. <\/p>\n<p>So, if you haven\u2019t checked out The \u201cA\u201d Word already, what\u2019s stopping you?
