Happy Twos-day! (2/22/22 on Tuesday, just in case you haven’t looked at a calendar yet.)
I have a new Scrivener post up at WriterUnboxed.com today that discusses options for tagging, color-coding, and organizing your documents. I hope you’ll check it out. Feel free to comment on the post if you have questions.
Did you know you can use Scrivener for more than just writing a novel or memoir? I’ve highlighted a few ideas for you over at WriterUnboxed.com today, and there are more great suggestions in the comments. I hope you’ll stop by to check it out, ask a question, or share your own ways for using Scrivener beyond the manuscript.
And if you’re in the US, have a great Thanksgiving weekend! I’m grateful to all of you for being part of my community, and all the support you’ve given me over the years.

Late summer and early fall have been busy, busy, busy. Things are starting to calm down, but when I’m not learning to play pickle ball—so much fun!—I’ve basically got my head down working on my current manuscript.
I’ve found the joy in my story again, and I pretty much don’t want to do anything else but work on it these days. Which is how I just today realized that National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) already started.
I’m not participating this year since I’m in the middle of a project and don’t want to stop (see previous paragraph), but I am trying to lay down as many words as possible before the end of the year.
How about you? Are you trying your hand at NaNo?
If so, here’s one of the many posts I’ve done on how Scrivener can help you hit your 1667 words/day: Winning NaNoWriMo with Scrivener.
And if you need help with anything else in Scrivener, you can find a list of all my blog posts on the subject at https://gwenhernandez.com/scrivener-tips/.
Upcoming Events
For the next few days I’ll be immersed in a virtual version of my favorite business conference for romance writers (Romance Author Mastermind), and I have a couple of appearances booked for the next few months.
Here’s what’s already on my schedule into the new year.
Whether you’re working toward 50K words this month or not, I hope this message finds you well as we race toward the end of 2021.
Hey, Scrivener Fans! Have you ever felt like you needed one place to capture all the details about the characters, settings, and timelines in your book series?
If so, you’re in luck. I’m over at Writer Unboxed today talking about the options for creating a series bible in Scrivener, and providing a sneak peek at mine. Stop by to check it out and ask any questions you have. Happy writing!
