When was the last time that you read an eBook? Did you purchase it from an online vendor or was it lent to you by a friend/family member? Maybe you subscribe to one of those websites where you can read an unlimited amount of eBooks per month. That's cool. Have you tried eBooks at your [...]
Hey ya'll, it's Lauren Miller back with another Scrivener tip for today. Did Santa leave you a copy of Scrivener under your Christmas tree this year? If so, you're in for a lot of fun! Have you tried using Scrivener's composition mode yet? I don't know about you but when I want to focus on [...]
Welcome back to another scrivener tip on Thursdays. Up to this point, we've already talked about using Scrivener as a word counter, how to import templates into Scrivener, and how to create tables for tracking productivity. Today, I want to talk about how to add your own images to your Scrivener project (or notebook). Images [...]
Last month I talked about how to set up your word counter for Scrivener, especially for all you Wrimo peeps. How did you do this month? If you're working with Scrivener software, you may want to consider creating a table (see below) with NaNoWriMo's targets each day and include space for you to fill in [...]
Today I want to talk about expanding the use of Scrivener for your writing by incorporating templates into your writing project. At a glance, here are some of the Fiction templates that are included, or can be added as extras, for Scrivener: Some of the obvious ones that are not standard with Scrivener are the [...]
With your Scrivener project open, click Project - Show Project Target. The project word tracker will appear in the lefthand side of your Scrivener project. By default, the targets are going to be set to 0. "Edit" allows you to change the total word count (ex: 50,000 words), and "Options" will allow you to [...]
I'm absolutely lovin' my new 2012 NaNoWriMo Word Tracker which comes in different skins over at Svenia Liv's website. She's got pirates, forest fairies, evil-looking guys and more to suit your writing tastes. Which one closest matches your character this year? Check her stuff out. Okay, so I have to say something briefly about Scrivener [...]
I was like you too, until I solved my problem. The answer was a Kindle. "But I love my library!" you protest. E-readers are not the end of libraries as we know it (I know, I've worked at one for over 13 years). My husband disagrees ("yes it is!") but I think I can distract [...]
This past week I've been experimenting using Scrivener's Outline feature to try my hand at POVs and outlining scenes for my current work-in-progress. I've found that the line by line w/ synopsis is a lot more useful than the grid or free-form card option they offer. I also like all the pretty colors for the [...]
I am not a traitor to my kind. Let me explain! I have a background in Library Science. This means that one day you could find me in a library somewhere, sans librarian's hair bun and pointy glasses, with my nose in a book. I love books! Their smell. The feel of a book [...]
