Giving Scrivener, the writing/outlining/project organization platform, yet another try. I'm doing this mostly because I want to work out an outline and Scrivener offers a format. Found a link to an e-coupon for 20% off on Michael Marshall Smith's Twitter page, and went ahead and bought it. We'll see how it goes. So many writers swear by it, but I confess that I didn't find it intuitive the first time I used it. I kept misplacing character description index cards and other types of notes. And I'm concerned about actually writing in Scrivener, wondering how well text and formatting translates into Word, which is what my publisher uses.

Appointments a'plenty tomorrow. Pups to the vet first thing in the morning. Early afternoon, a haircut for me. Need to grocery shop in between. I also want to make meatballs to go with my marinara. Meatballs stuffed with mozzarella.

Hung the autumn wreaths on the house and garage today, a few days before the official change of season. The snap is in the air, and the days are noticeably shorter. Dammit.

Whereas we have no snap, but I am delighted to have had a week in which it did not get to 100 degrees even once. Even close. Days that stayed under 90, even.

There's no satisfying everyone...

Early fall is right up there with late spring as my favorite time of the year. But this summer was so cloudy and cool. It's as though we really didn't have a summer at all.

I've really been enjoying using Scrivener. It has changed my writing - I write more multiple-scene chapters. I've never had any problem compiling a manuscript in Word.

Let me know if you have any questions - I might be able to help!

I am hoping that the Outline function helps me crack this revision. This one needs to be well-planned.

I may need some help working out the various , so thanks for the offer!
