So far it's been great getting 5K words on the page in the last 4 days on various projects. I love to storyboard. I think it's the "Crafter" in me, and no, I don't mean writing craft but like JoAnn's Fabric and Crafts crafting. I tried it once before.... wasn't so impressed. But now that I have a 3 book historical fiction series that I'm working on, organization is more important this go around. And since I'm doing the multiple project method at the moment, because I have limited time to write and don't always "feel" like writing on the project I had going at the moment, hence why I now am a prized owner of SIX well-fleshed out ideas with about 5-15K written on each one, a whole novel all together....
So with Scrivener, I'm hoping to put together the project files for my various projects: (Served, Stone, Past Due, His Parson's Wife, Oh So Scandalous (because parson's wife is too big it's getting split into 2 volumes) and Daughters of Derbyshire). Served, Stone, and Past Due are all contemporary fiction. HPW, OSS and DoD are all historical fiction, Austen fan fiction to be exact.
I tested it out this past week and with the freedom to write what I want when I have time to write, I get more done. No shock there, I guess. Since I'm an outliner, with the ability to write 750-1,000 words in 30 minutes, I'm hopeful Scrivener is the tool to really help me ramp up MY production so I can give the awesome ladies like Dalya Moon and Elle Casey a run for their money....
I don't profess that my working method would work for everyone. I know I happen to thrive on crazy. Crazy schedules, crazy deadlines etc. I work around my perfectionist procrastinator streaks that way. Between web development, ebook marketing, app development, and writing books, I have to keep it all juggling so I keep moving forward. Otherwise, I sit and play Facebook games all day. LOL.
