6 Favorite Features of Scrivener

Posted on September 23, 2018November 2, 2019 by annisezate

Recently I've discovered Scrivener, my new obsession. Oh my goodness, do I love this software! I'd heard of it before and I knew it was some kind of writing software, but I always thought, "I'm happy with good old Microsoft Word..."

Let us all mourn together…

So, a couple of weeks ago, I thought it would be a cool idea to create a website where readers and writers collaborate together. However, something odd happened when I created another site.

Off the Page by Jodi Picoult My rating: 4 of 5 stars So, I just want to say that most of the time I have a hard time with sequels. Series are fine, but often I feel like sequels are a flop, because usually the author never planned to make another one, so the author...Read More

The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo My rating: 4 of 5 stars Wow, so I was apparently a little deprived as a child for not having read this. I guess I would have rather read about people than mice. But I've been looking for some third grade books to read aloud to my class...Read More
