WRITING TIPS! USING SCRIVENER TO WRITE MORE, BETTER, FASTER BY ANNA DEPALO



All this week RWA/NYC Members are sharing
their tips and tricks for writing more, better & faster.
Happy Writing!




As far as writing faster, what’s worked for me recently is this: the Scrivener app installed on my cell phone and a Belkin Universal keyboard. I switched from Word to Scrivener software a few years ago. I love the way I can now color-code scenes for POV and move them around simply by dragging and dropping files. And when the Scrivener app came out recently, I was all over it for the portability.

No more having to open an email or Evernote file that I then had to import into the correct spot in my manuscript (though I sometimes still do this). The Belkin Universal keyboard has sometimes been temperamental interfacing with my iPhone software when it gets upgraded, but currently still functions well. I bought this particular keyboard because it works with multiple types of devices, and its open cover serves as a built-in stand. The keyboard is so light, thin and small, I can drop it into my purse and forget about it. I even bought a felt carrying case for it.

Now, when I’m stuck in the car, waiting for one kid or another to be done with soccer practice, I can easily add to my WIP.♥
