Primary season has begun in Indiana now and it is hard to believe that April is over and May 3rd is right around the corner. May in Indiana also means  the Indianapolis 500 and this year is a big year for the Speedway. The 100th Running of the Indy 500 is a big deal, especially during Indiana’s Bicentennial. I just finished CampNanoWrimo and I am now thinking about using Scrivener to organize my current Works in Progress. The Winner Goodies from Camp seem to be helpful, I will find out more in the next few days.

I found an inspiring blog post about how Author Susan Kaye Quinn uses Scrivener to organize her planning and marketing and resources for her books. I have read many of her works as well as her blog. As I was debating on trying to learning Scrivener during  CampNanoWrimo I read this older blog post and found it helpful.

Here is the link to her post: http://susankayequinn.blogspot.com/2014/12/how-i-use-scrivener-to-organize.html

 

 

 

So… over Spring Break I had big plans and got very little done but did finally manage some down time. Now that it is April I have signed up for Camp NaNoWiMo for some encouragement and inspiration. If you haven’t heard of it, it is much like regular NaNoWiMo only with more flexible target goals. Also in both opportunities is the chance to try out multiple platforms of writing tools. I think I may try out Scrivener for real this time. I always mean to give it a go, but then I never have the time to go through all the tutorials – which I think would be really helpful and get frustrated and give up and return to either word, or a pen and paper.

Do you use any writing tools?

Helpful resources?

I will try out Scrivener and let you know how it goes, this should be interesting.

Good luck on your own adventures and  -if you get one -I hope you had a wonderful Spring Break!

If you want to do something significant, something noble, something that perhaps has never been done before, you must be willing to fail. And don’t be surprised or devastated when you do. It is not the end of the world, and untold numbers of people have experienced major failures and have come back from them,…
