A new toy

As a kind of work-avoidance-without-work-avoiding, I've put my novel, Tender Morsels Bwa-Ha-Ha (with apologies to Roddy Doyle) into Scrivener, which means that I can set it up to find things in it easily, like all the scenes where that bloody dwarf is (trying to push myself out of the G rating here), and I can admire each chapter's apparent sortedness like this, instead of in scrawled over lists with ticks next to everything:




This is the tenth chapter; purty, no? Each coloured pin represents a different point of view. Head-hopping? Never!

Oh, isn't Scrivener wonderful?! I'm writing my current novel on it, and I just heart it so much.

I love the Full Screen mode.

Oh, and the Project Targets window. That's really cool.

I haven't explored it as far as Project Targets yet - because I've already exceeded my targets on this book.

Did you have the crashing problem in the demo version? Do you have it on the real thing?

i have never had it crash, sorry.

(actually, i'm not sorry at all that it's never crashed. i'm sorry that yours is.)

you don't get a different one when you buy it - you just get a key to let it know that you own it. so if it's a problem in demo it's likely to be a problem full stop. have a look at their support page and see if anyone else has the problem.

No one else is complaining of it. I've emailed them, but in the meantime the crashing is getting less frequent. Maybe it's a kind of mutual testing!

I'll give it another couple of days. I'm loath to let go of it now that I've transferred the novel into it and seen what it can do. This will save me quite a bit of paper and confusion!

If the particular payback top of that, are short, but could be developed outside of work, to increase the payback. What does the repayment of the special debt back is usually an exciting task.
Entitled to receive an advance payday loan is not difficult. Want to really understand a kind of sleep or borrower may be able to pay back the borrowed funds be.

Nothing could be more stressful to deal with the present small payday loans financial situation. Stress in terms of how to pay rent, taxes, utility bills and other expenses can be a problem especially when payday is days away or already in use. What is small cash loans presented as a valuable solution is currently opting for the services of loan companies. However, one can not expect all credit options that operate on the same principle.
