I feel much more free in my mind to try the crazier things my brain is afraid, or just can't figure out how, to type.<br /><br />I have never seen Scrivener... though I have tried ywriter and storybook. Both programs had me running back to my trusty Open Office lol. I just use the bookmarks to keep track of special scenes or places I need to go back to... I also use the 'notes' feature to write stuff off to the side or even drop in alternative text for me to decide on later with a clearer mind!<br /><br />Wishing you luck!Virginia Lori Jenningshttp://www.virginiajennings.webs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20442270.post-5016828091723508422012-01-25T17:18:54.237-08:002012-01-25T17:18:54.237-08:00I'm glad you listened to yourself and took the...I'm glad you listened to yourself and took the time you needed - and, whaddya know - you got the gift of a new perspective on your MC. My guess is, there's a definite connection between that and giving yourself the space you needed.

I confess a bit of envy, but I'm sure all will work out eventually. <br /><br />Sorry to hear you haven't been able to work things out with Scrivener (can't say how the flash drive thing works, I just use Dropbox for my work files and preferences and have the main program installed on my two machines). Though I do know you can change the colors of "ink" on your note cards (at least I have been able to)... It doesn't matter though. If Journal works for you, you should use it. Nothing destroys someone's flow more than having to redesign their process. I know...I was sort of forced into redesigning mine, because I used the old DOS WordPerfect 5.1... And as I had to change operating systems on my computers, the DOS things were less and less supported. That's the only reason I became a Scrivener devotee myself. It just happens that it works for me. Sorry it didn't work for you.<br /><br />>HUGS<Eden Mabeehttp://manyworldsmanyminds.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
