There aren't really a lot of bells and whistles. It's like having a wiki and a word processor in one package. It makes me want to write my own software for writing, but, you know, that whole time thing.

Hm, I thought I had Scrivener but apparently not. Maybe I just have the OSX version. I do have an app called Bear that I haven't hardly used yet.

If you have the Mac version, I think they give a discount for the Windows version. Also, 30 day trial.
100 words, yep. It makes me stop focusing on them being perfect, too.

as much as I love when other writers put great clues in their stories, I hate thinking of them for mine.

That seems really hard. I have no idea how you even go about that! But, yes, love it when I read it.

So far I'm finding it challenging. Maybe I need to sit with it and just, like, watch Andy Griffith or something until some other part of my brain kicks in.

That sounds pretty sensible, actually.

Well, not that I am successful, but I have found that I often don't get a good idea while actively on the hunt for it.

Because books.
What's working for me right now is being at work, weirdly. In a lot of ways it's like being in the shower, or driving, which are other places I can let my mind go because I'm physically focused on one thing and can't be distracted by someone walking in or remembering I need to put the wash in the dryer, etc.
When I'm taking calls, I'm butt in chair, no chance to walk away till my break, and I don't have any other distractions -- no cell phones allowed, no internet, no reading, etc. So if the phone's not ringing, I can jot notes, and I outlined four chapters of a children's book that way. I just sort of set my background brain on "project" and let stuff float in and out and it's been working really well.

That's great, Amy!
