I'm a big fan of Scrivener, but I still print my manuscript off to hold it in my hands and read it and mark it up and rearrange it. I don't think any program can match the benefit of hands-on work. My biggest struggle is finding a big open empty floor or wall to organize it all!
I really needed this. Signed, a person who opened the manuscript she promised herself she would edit today and became dismayed at when Microsoft Word told her she'd touched it last...
Oh man, same! I finished a NaNoWriMo project and I'm super proud of myself, I made a whole plan for how I'm going to edit it, and then got super intimidated and I haven't touched it in like a month. I think I just need to figure out a way to start small.
I'm at the point now where I am writing regularly enough to join a writing group. How did you find yours? Any pointers on where to look for a good one? I want one where the people are active readers (not of each others work, but of books in general).
Getting a few questions like this so I'll address it in another newsletter! My group is made up of writer friends and their friends, and that's not so specifically helpful in terms of how to find one yourself. But more soon!
