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.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
My writing goal for November is 1k a day, and finishing a short story a week. I did it last year with some success, so I'm hoping it'll go well this year.
Is anyone doing NaNo?
