I would just like to profusely thank you for inspiring me to get Scrivener. This thing is amazing, and so cool, and I’m not even done with the tutorial and I’m already in love. This is going to be so useful when I start my second novel! Do you have any advice/tips for using Scrivener, beyond the basics?
Oh God! I’m still a relative newbie with Scrivener: the program is so damn powerful. And my workload has been such the last year or so that I’ve had little time to do more than stumble around in it, and then strike out to find answers when something’s acting up.
When I bring up Google, though, I can see that these are Scrivener help-or-advice sites that I’ve visited more than once:
A great deal of useful Q&A, ranging from the simple to the extremely technical, goes on at the Writer Beta forum at StackExchange.
See also the entries here at WriteHacked. (They’re OSX oriented, but much of the advice will still be useful for Scrivener users running under Windows.)
Gwen Hernandez is a romance / suspense writer who’s also responsible for Scrivener for Dummies: her website’s blog has a lot of useful free Scrivener tips in it.
Gene Lempp has some tips: look at this one for dealing with chapter headings. (As you’d expect, there’s a lot of attention out there on how to get Scrivener to play nicely with the software needed to generate nice-looking .mobi files for Amazon.)
Also, there is a Google+ Scrivener users community.
And finally, Charlie Stross (to whom I am eternally indebted to getting the thing onto my radar in the first place) has some thoughts about using Scrivener here.
Hope this helps. (I really should compile a more complete list of helpful Scrivener links one of these days. Adding to the to-do list…)
