![]() All of this without having to open other documents. ![]() Where it becomes really useful is that because the whole project is there, it's very easy to check back (or forward) in the book to make sure your descriptions are consistent, or whether events you've described happen in the right order. I have it so my chapters are broken down into scenes, and I write and edit those individually. But you only work on a section at a time, and a section is as big or small as you want it to be. When you open a project you immediately have access to everything - all the chapters you've written, all your research notes, web links, images, whatever you want, really. Scrivener treats each book (or story, or essay, or whatever) as a 'project'. It sounds like a lot of the writers who've replied already are using a system similar to the one Scrivener employs, but they're using separate files and a generally more complex workflow. I don't like sounding like a broken record, but every time one of these kind of questions crops up, the first thing I think is, "Why don't they just use Scrivener?". I would appreciate any practical advice to help me get myself organised so I can finish these projects. ![]() Where do you now find it best to back-up? - Email to yourself? External hard-drive or pen drives? I have not looked yet at options such as the cloud etc but I suspect that this may be something that more people are using now. I seem to have so many versions of everything (kindle versions and what I have uploaded to createspace). I am wondering how everybody else does this please?ĭo you have a separate document for each chapter? I am even at the stage of thinking of stripping everything out of the computer onto hard-drives etc and then starting a storage system from scratch. I have several projects that I really want to finish but I have it all in such a muddle that I need a better way of storing it all. Having been quite unwell plus having family issues to deal with my writing has been sporadic. I am sorry if that seems a bit cheeky but I have only had limited energy so certain forums have been neglected although I have still kept up with a few of your through facebook. I haven't posted on here for a long time but I am hoping for some advice. ![]()
