Please follow the #writers participating in #TWSOchat, this community grows by sharing info + resources. Today we discussed “Revisiting Scrivener” ~ I will tweet the writers' handles asap! ^ct #writing #writerschat

Q9. Do you use Scrivener to organize your research or references in any way? I like to use import web page to help with any online information that I want to go back and look at or anything that refers me to books, essays or other written material/documents. #TWSOchat

Q8. Are there any issues that you have while using Scrivener that you find frustating or can't find a solution too? #TWSOchat

Q7. Did you know that Scrivener can read your text back to you? Highlight whatever section of your manuscript that you want it to read and then go to edit on the top menu bar, then speech and finally start speaking. It uses the default voice installed on your computer but you can change it #TWSOchat

Q6. Do you have a Scrivener question that the #TWS community or other Bluesky writers might be able to help with? #TWSOchat

Q5. Is there any Scrivener feature that you would be at a loss without? People mention things like metadata (for keywords, labels and custom metadata), the comments section, bookmarks, daily words goals, snapshots etc. #TWSOchat

Click on this hashtag #TWSOchat to see the whole conversation for the writing chat and make sure to use it in your replies. Let us know if you have any other questions :) and welcome everyone! #writing #WritingCommunity #writerschat

Q4. Scrivener can be complicated software to use but has multiple ways in which it can be used. Did you know that there are also templates that you can download and import to use in Scrivener? It's one of the things I might try for a future project, they might help with plotting and pacing #TWSOchat

Q3. If you are using the program, how do you arrange your backups with your manuscript? How many places do you save your files in and how do you arrange your binder? #TWSOchat

Get ready by opening up a fresh page. Or if you prefer, get your pencil and paper ready! Time editing and proofing can also be part of your time spent in sprints. You can paste this later into your manuscript. #TWSsprints
