Even though I only use about 2% of Scrivener’s features, it absolutely adds to the joy to know I could use fancy functionality like this too if I got around to it.

Scrivener is a totally no-bullshit and writer-centred tool and that is a BIG DEAL.

This is SO helpful if you want to keep track of how your characters change their POV through a timeline of events.

Some writers aim for a set number of words a day. But sometimes it’s not the number of words, it’s the rhythm.

I love using #Scrivener and enjoyed it so much I once created a training course called Scrivener Simplified (with their blessing at the time). Anyway, the domain is long since gone, but I put the videos on YouTube for anyone interested.
