I wasn't convinced for a long time either. I should post a screen shot of the clipboard. I can move scenes at will, anywhere, and they change place in the overall document. It's amazing!

I'm still not totally convinced, but I love th...

I'm still not totally convinced, but I love that screen shot. Hmmm...you may yet get me on it.

You should have seen me...er...heard me the day I figured that out! ; ) John got a good show of enthusiasm. I think I'm just now getting the hang of how to really use Scrivener.

Love that notebook screen shot - I definitely need to do that with all my scribbles and jottings. I love everything about Scrivener!

Good to know, Sarah. I know I'm just scratching the surface so far.

Great post, Zan Marie.
Count me as another big fan of Scrivener :)!

I love the Scrivener links option, where you can link documents to documents.
Since I write non-fiction, I use that all the time.

2012-05-28T19:12:08.317-04:00

Sara,
Split screen is what I used to put Samantha's image by scene one. I've also used it to easily copy bits from one document to another. It's really useful, isn't it?

2012-05-28T19:05:13.154-04:00

I love scrivener but I mostly use the word processor. I like that I can put notes next to scenes, or have a split screen and have two scenes up at a time so I can coordinate between them.

Dominic,
You've got a great idea there! Now to finish that book and get it published... ; )

2012-05-28T18:11:12.197-04:00

I also love scrivener and bought it to encourage me to write more. It's a great app, and I swear when I get published, I'll add them to my dedications.

Erika,
I just started new doc under References and added things I had all over my Document's folder. I haven't tried links to websites yet. ; )

2012-05-28T17:21:29.883-04:00

Wow, Zan, you're using lots of features I haven't even gotten close to yet. I really want to use the reference feature for the biography and historical stories, but haven't figured it out yet.

2012-05-28T16:55:45.158-04:00

Thanks, Arnel! It took a lot of time and a bit of trial and error, but it's worth it. The screen shots were a hard thing, too. Thank goodness for the Forum and all the amazing techies over there. ; )

OMG Zan! This is amazing! Really need to dedicate some time to this! Thanks for an awesome post!

Faith,
I got the book version, not workbook or any other. It's still amazing in Week 5. ; ) You won't be sorry if you purchase it.

Ooooh, please do! I can't wait!

I love lists like these! Still trying to think of Turkish words to share with you guys...

Julia,
I've wondered about the Mandarian in the SF show Firefly and the movie Serenity. I've heard it's real and is curses. ; )

2012-05-24T14:45:31.562-04:00

Once upon a time, I spoke Chinese (I haven't kept it up). There are words or phrases in Chinese that express how I'm feeling or something so much better than English ever will. Funny how that happens.

Oh that's a cute one, Lara!

2012-05-22T20:00:42.232-04:00

I think my favorite might be 'gigil'--it so perfectly captures that 'squee' feeling when I see something adorable.
