I did finally figure out how I wanted to use Scrivener for planning and writing my novels, but I could have saved myself a lot of time and headache if I had taken my friend and fellow author and coach, Vanessa Kier’s, course<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>(If it had existed!)<\/p>\n

Help! I Bought Scrivener<\/h1>\n

(Now What?)<\/h2>\n

NEVER FEAR!<\/h3>\n

This LIVE online class will teach you in 1 HOUR the SIMPLE STEPS for setting up your project in Scrivener and getting comfortable with its unique interface.<\/p>\n

So you can start writing!<\/p>\n

It’s Time to Move Past the Excuses, Overwhelm, and Fear to Finally Learn Scrivener<\/h2>\n

Let’s face it. Writing is more than simply putting words on a page.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s character descriptions or key resources for blog posts, you’ve got lots of pieces of information to track. And what happens when you want to rearrange the order of your pages?<\/p>\n

Since you’re checking out this class, you’ve probably heard other writers gush about Scrivener being one of the strongest tools in a writer\u2019s toolbox.<\/p>\n

You’re hoping to join the gazillions* of writers who have become more productive and organized with their writing by using Scrivener.<\/p>\n

And yet, Scrivener sends a great number of writers screaming away in sheer and utter PANIC.<\/p>\n

It’s so different confusing<\/del> weird!<\/p>\n

It’s so complicated!<\/p>\n

It takes too much time to learn!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you\u2019re reading this, you\u2019ve decided to be among Those Who Did Not Flee. Congratulations. You have a brave heart.<\/p>\n

This class will blow those excuses out of the water and get you up and running with Scrivener.<\/p>\n

*My estimate only. This number is in no way endorsed by the Scrivener folks.<\/em><\/p>\n

Time to bust some myths.<\/h2>\n

True or False?<\/strong> Scrivener is ONLY for writers who do extensive planning and outlining. FALSE<\/strong><\/p>\n

True or False?<\/strong> Scrivener is ONLY for discovery\/organic\/seat-of-the-pants writers. FALSE<\/strong><\/p>\n

True or False?<\/strong> Scrivener works for ALL types of writers.\u00a0TRUE<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I was terrified, but … my curiosity about writing with Scrivener won out. I’m so glad I chose Vanessa, who makes Scrivener as easy as painting by numbers.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ABOUT VANESSA KIER<\/h2>\n

\"Vanessa<\/a>In her own words:<\/h3>\n

Wait. Who the heck am I?<\/p>\n

Why should you learn from me?<\/p>\n

Oh. Right. Need to do the bio thing.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Vanessa Kier, Scrivener and tech coach for writers at The Writer’s Tech Stop. I also write action-packed romantic thrillers, plus the occasional Tech Talk column.<\/p>\n

I started off using Word to write and Excel to organize my character and scene details sheets, but it got too messy for me. Next I tried several writing-specific programs, because at that time Scrivener wasn\u2019t the robust tool it is today. But after losing work, I took another look at Scrivener. It had grown considerably, and so I switched.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t regretted a single moment.<\/p>\n

Now, in addition to using Scrivener for both my fiction and non-fiction writing (yep, I drafted this sales copy in Scrivener), I teach Scrivener to unsuspecting brave and enterprising writers.<\/p>\n

I firmly believe that learning Scrivener can be fun.<\/p>\n

Or at the very least playful.<\/p>\n

Or at the bare minimum, less stressful than having your teeth cleaned.<\/p>\n
