If Scrivener can give me layers, so that I can kind of stack all the info relevant to one scene -- backstory, world building, other POVs -- that would really useful.

I watched three video tutorials and spent about ten minutes with Scrivener before I bought it. This program is astounding and gives you absolute control over whatever you're writing. Even after using it only a short time, it makes writing in Word feel like I'm writing on papyrus.DamienKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16480771857086552192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-71784376509344013602012-12-18T15:18:47.018-05:002012-12-18T15:18:47.018-05:00I love Scrivener because I can write on my Mac lap...I love Scrivener because I can write on my Mac laptop, then go upstairs to my WIndows desktop and pull up the exact same document in the same form, and then I can import it to all kinds of manuscript types that would work on either system. Not to mention I can store all the random Type A research materials I gather before one word ever hits the screen. I'm definitely a fan and enjoyed reading your post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641608488926357864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-56437315141920386142012-12-17T17:41:35.423-05:002012-12-17T17:41:35.423-05:00LOVE scrivener!

I am writing instead of chasing down thoughts.<br /><br />The FICTION format is also great for<br />-- notes from educational classes<br />(CHAPTER is class name,SCENEs are highlights, resources, quizzes, assignments)<br />--Project Management<br />Chapters are the main category of a overall project, with scenes being ideas within the category, timeline/checklist.<br /><br />It is the most useful time management, organizational and writing project I have ever encountered.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264558596318396371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-48494842295723030502012-12-17T17:15:30.678-05:002012-12-17T17:15:30.678-05:00@jhutch: all you have to do is choose "compil...@jhutch: all you have to do is choose "compile" from the "file" tab.

I love the feel of my pen against paper, and the constant flutter of pages when I'm trying to remember what I wrote. The pain in the ass about that, though, is typing the thing after it's done. I'm trying to correct that by typing what I write each day.<br /><br />The Scrivener programs sounds like it would be very helpful however, as I'm often surrounded by my notes and scribbled scene lists and such, so I'm might have to look into it.<br /><br />And, if you would be so kind, feel free to check out my blog @ http://writerspsychosis.blogspot.com/Ryan S.

You mentioned in your post that compiling your document to be opened in Word was as simple as three strokes. This is the only component of Scrivener I've had trouble with. Would you mind sharing these steps? I would feel much better if I knew that when I finish my WIP, I'll be able to open it in Word.jhutchesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727840124485344965noreply@blogger.com
