Do you use Scrivener for writing/revising your books?? Tell me your favorite features or how you use it! :D

I've never used Scrivener cause I'm a writing dinosaur and still love Word, but it's cool you're exploring your process and writing tools! I totally get the changing POV thing. My very first few versions of Storm Cloud, I kept swapping between 1st and 3rd person, and while it was annoying and tedious at the time, I did learn that I vastly prefer writing in 3rd limited, so it's all trial and error. Good luck with your 3rd draft! I'm glad you feel your beginning is solid.

I'm definitely loving third limited pov the best. I find a lot of first person books that I've read recently, the main character's voice just irritated me, which made it hard to read. That happens less with third person because the voice isn't overwhelming in every area, there's more flexibility to just narrate when you need to. I will forever love Word the best lol, but I'm liking the corkboard feature of Scrivener pretty good honestly. :D

I hope the tense doesn't change because it's a beast to go through and fix once you've written the book lol! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing, it means a lot to me! :D

Oh wow, changing tense and voice sounds confusing! How do you do it? I did a video on Scrivener! But it’s pretty basic. Probably more basic than you need. They do actually have some video tutorials on KZfaq that are faster than they’re 2-hour handbook tutorial.

I don't use Scrivener and I'm always curious as to whether or not I should take the plunge. I'm using a software called Bibisco. Its free and there's a lot that I enjoy about it but occasionally I have some frustrations. For example, I have some foreign languages in the book and it won't let me use the keyboard shortcuts for the accents so when I export the doc to Word I'm going to have to do a find and replace for some dialogue and also one character's name. I've always written in first person but every once in awhile I'm so tempted to mix it up and try third! Especially when my CPs send me work in third. As I'm in it offering feedback I feel myself adapting to it and it's something I'd like to at least try at some point. I'm too scared to do it with this WIP because that would be more work than I'm willing to do at this point. 😆

I've never heard of Bibisco! (Or maybe you've mentioned it before I think?? But not outside of that) That would be really frustrating with the accents and stuff. I like first person a lot, but recently I've read some books in first person and the main pov character just irritated me lol. So that can be a drawback if the voice of the character doesn't work for everyone. I find third person has more flexibility when it comes to that because you're not exactly in the characters' heads, but enough that you can lend some voice to it without being overwhelming. But that's just me lol. Oh man, it is a ton of work to be changing tense or pov, so I agree with you there! My read through is taking me twice as long as usual because it's just slow going to change the verb tenses and all the "I" and "me" words lol. It's a lot, but I'm liking it. :D

I have Scrivner, and I have mixed opinions about it. On the one hand, it gathers everything in one place, which I like, but the aesthetics and the layouts are distracting to me. Also, I'm just so used to the features of word processors, and by writing in a word processor, I can format the novel files as I go. So, yeah. I think it's a cool program, but it's not for me.

Yeah, I know a lot of writers love Scrivener, but like I use a lot of online resources to keep story notes in, so I don't use the other features of Scrivener aside from writing in it. And in that case I do think Word can pretty much do whatever I need Scrivener to do, but I am looking at the corkboard feature, which is interesting. So I don't know lol. I'm trying to work with it but I guess we'll see. XD
