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.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
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?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was thinking about it, but more in the way of making sure I spend an hour a day writing than word-count goals.

Because books.
I'm going to be NaNo-adjacent and blog about it. November is the worst time of the year NaNo could be, for me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I was thinking about it. But I don't know. I always fail! I guess I should already be doing it if I'm going to!

if you do, and don't make it to 50k, you still have a bunch of writing done, right? ::NUDGE:: (t- lookin' at you too)
ALL MUST JOIN ME IN MY MISERY.

Seriously. I think you can make NaNo what you want it to be. My goal is just to blog every day for a month.
If you use it that way, and don't focus on the result, I think it's a great idea. (Or if you play by the rules, obviously.)
