ladyjanelly1000 words of fic in 30 minutes. I feel alive again. Like the words go down in the right order and when they're down, more are on the way. I feel like those first days of writing In From the Cold. Like I can do this writing thing.

Date: 2011-09-27 02:07 pm (UTC)Have you ever used Scrivener? It's absolutely awesome for multi-chapter fics. It lets me sketch out scene-opener and POV for a few chapters ahead so I can just start writing when I open it up. Constant saving, so nothing ever gets lost. I feel like I can see the whole fic or find that thing I need to check super-easy.
Scrivener is free in beta right now, and only like $30 when it's done being tested (the Mac version has been around for a few years).
Yay!

I don't foresee any roadblocks in this one so hopefully I'll burn trough it pretty fast. I would love another COMPLETED on my fic list.
