No matter how nice they are, or how encouraging, three rejections and a rewrite request is not what I ordered for this week. When I am queen, things will be different.

I just wrote a blog post about finding (more of) my people at a writers' conference. It was too long and difficult to explain the (more of) without getting into a whole discussion of the board, so I glossed it, hoping that folks here would know what I meant. You do right?

Signed, sending out my stories until hell won't have them.

Three rejections and a rewrite request is actually a decent ration, babe. Get to work.

Or! Watch Misery Bear. I think I'm in love.

Get to work.

Yes'm!

I finished a first swipe at a synopsis today (or, what I think a synopsis is, which could be completely wrong) and a first outline.

ETA: MISERY BEAR OMG

Misery Bear is perfect.

Ha, adorable and perfect. And props for the use of Dead Space (2, presumably).

Question that has one foot in tech: Has anyone here ever used Scrivener? If so, I'd love to hear if you liked it, didn't like it, and why.

I have been playing with the trial version, but I haven't pulled the trigger on buying. I like the way it's organized, fits my thought processes. And the mobile version (that isn't precisely right but I don't know what to call it, Index Card is what I mean) really suits me. Actual index cards are what I used to use so I guess that's just how my mind works.

Anne, I use scrivener and love it. I like it's ability to compile in whatever format a market wants. I like not storing a million drafts (backup rocks), I like the outlining and notecard capabilities. I wish for a few things, but not many.

Thank you both! I've got a project starting that is going to require crazy amounts of organization, and this looks like it might help out.

Anne - FWIW, you might also check out Cicus Ponies Notebook if it's not specifically a writing project. And Yojimbo.
