Prompted by a question from one of my newsletter subscribers (my newsletter now includes a Scrivener Q&A column), I’ve dedicated an entire blog post to answering the question: “Which Scrivener features do you really need?”
If you’ve ever been frustrated because you feel like you should be doing more with Scrivener, or you’re not sure where to start, give it a read over at Writer Unboxed.
Happy ides of March, for whatever that’s worth. 😉
Have you ever used Scrivener's split screen feature? If you thought you didn't need it, or just don't understand it, my post over at Writers in the Storm today is for you. 🙂 Stop by to learn more and ask questions.
Enjoy your weekend!
P.S. Only 10 days until Blind Justice! (I’m just a little excited…)
The Life Story Coach, Amy Woods Butler, helps people write life stories (theirs or other's), and she uses Scrivener. To give her listeners a better idea of how Scrivener can help them, she asked me to join her for an interview on her podcast.
We discuss the concept of Scrivener as a “project manager for a book,” lots of ways to use the software for any kind of writing, and how weird it is that I'm a left-brained non-plotter. If podcasts are your thing, or you just want to know what I sound like (jk), check it out!
Here's a teaser…
