Just wanted you to know that after watching hundreds of videos on Scrivener, I've learned more from you in 20 minutes than all of the others combined. You are very well-spoken and it's apparent to me that you have fully mastered this software. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. At 80 years old, I'm late to the ballgame to begin writing and I have no time to waste on nonsense. Again, thank you for not wasting my time. Many blessings to you as you continue your journey.

YES! All the KZfaq instructors assume we know how to get to the page on which they "start". We don't. Do we "Download" the Scrivener? How? From where? The only Download I can find seems to be for a trial membership deal. I'm an all-out purchaser. Whatevr I find on my computer, with the big S logo, does not tell-show me how to get to the nice "begin" pages that all the teachers start at. How to get there??

Well worth the quick eighteen minute tutorial. If you are serious about becoming an author and want to step up your ability to use scrivener as a proficient writer or researcher... watch this video... take quick actionable notes for formatting your work and retaining the keyboard command shortcuts... and when the video is finished, dive in and tackle your writing projects. You only need one tutorial to get a grasp of the basics... Watching two or more tutorials is a form of resistance distracting you from writing. Learn what you need and get back to writing! Michael, thank you for putting together this video. You provided quite a few beneficial tools and navigational tactics which I was hoping I would learn. Just glad your video was the first one I watched. Now for a consistent flow of highly productive and streamlined scrivener writing sessions to wrap up a couple non-fiction manuscripts. Thanks again!
