I'm boring and just use Word and Excel for writing my novel and keeping track of stuff. I've tried a couple others, including Scrivener and Evernote, but never got into it. I like the idea of specialized tools (and use them for genealogy and other things) but don't like to give up control over my content and formatting (not to mention, I have used specialized software in the past then discovered that I no longer had access to my files when I upgraded my OS and the software wasn't updated).

I just saw a promo for a bundle of [Mariner Software](http://marinersoftware.com/) products. I've heard of them and may even own the main program (I like buying bundles). (I'm not linking to the sale because I don't want this post mistaken for spam.)

In this case, the bundle is 6 programs they sell all geared for writers: Mariner Write, Contour 2, Narrator, Persona, StoryMill, and Montage.

**How well do Mariner Software products work for writers?**
