Scrivener is the writing application you're most likely to hear about if you go to Writer's Workshops, or Creative Writing course in or outside of university.
Scrivener comes with a 30 day trial, but you only use a day if you use Scrivener during a 24-hour period. That's the best way to handle that kind of trial, but it does mean that the best way to use the trial is to make sure you have plenty of time to really put into writing that day before you open Scrivener up.
Scrivener begins with Project Templates. You can also import and export them, or start with a blank page.
After you pick one, you then put in a filename and select where to save your project. This part of the interface is outdone by yWriter's New Project Wizard, especially since you have the choice to put in characters like question marks which aren't acceptable in filenames.
Scrivener helpfully starts with an explanation of each format type when starting with a project template. Each template does not come with sample text.
Looking at the below statements, where you best fit gives an idea of the extent to which yWriter is or isn't a fit for you.
