Scrivener break, pt. 2

2019/06/02 — Leave a comment

It took me a bit longer than expected, but I now have all my poems for 2019 copied over into Scrivener. Part of the delay was due to three consecutive days of readings to attend; the rest was caused by syncing problems with cloud services, which ultimately led me to sign up for Dropbox again. (I had originally dropped Dropbox when they limited basic-account access without warning.)

The new month will get off to a busy start tomorrow, but now I can get back to the practice of writing.

Scrivener break

2019/05/29 — Leave a comment

At last I got around to purchasing Scrivener! I’ve been using Word for my poetry for the last five years, but it becomes more and more unwieldy as I write more. On top of that, Word 2016 doesn’t play nice with my Word 2011 files, so I have to keep using 2011 for everything to behave as expected. So it was time.

Since we’re almost at month’s end, and I’ve been distracted with new sounds and job interviews anyway, I’m going to take a couple of days to copy the contents of my current Word document into Scrivener, figure out how to use Scrivener as I go, and maybe get myself a bit more organized than I have been. So if you don’t see much going on here for the rest of this week, that is why.
