NaNo is over, but now is when the real work begins. \u00a0Hubby is building framework for some concrete work, and he needs me to help with very tiny things that help help — usually something like turning the ON\/OFF switch from one position to the other.<\/p>\n
I’ve installed Scrivener 2.0 on the new MacBook Air and brought my NaNo file down from DropBox. \u00a0Now, I’m cleaning up the manuscript. \u00a0I’ve removed the words that don’t need to be there from the misguided start. \u00a0I haven’t thrown them away — they may be useful for something else. \u00a0Word recycling is a useful thing sometimes.<\/p>\n
Now, I’m checking my timeline, changing the scene numbers to meaningful titles and summarizing the scene on the corkboard. \u00a0The split screen is coming in very handy for this. \u00a0I put one line of index cards in the top window. \u00a0I put the scene I’m working on in the bottom window. \u00a0I use the synopsis window in the Inspector to update the index card. \u00a0I use the custom meta data to update the timeline and the scene location(s).<\/p>\n
This is just clean up work, but it should help ground me in the story.<\/p>\n
I liked the first version of Scrivener, but version 2.0 has a lovely, clean feel to it.<\/p>\n
If you missed it in the comments, the transmission on the truck self-destructed and will be replaced in it’s entirety. \u00a0They ordered one and anticipate getting it early next week. \u00a0I figured it would take until Wednesday, when I have to be back up there for a doctor appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
