Writing

I am currently using the Scrivener for Windows beta. There’s still a few bugs to it, but I’m pretty sure it’s my new love. Used in conjunction with LibreOffice, it has become my new “thing.”

I use the note cards on the cork board to kind of outline my story as I write. I can also give myself a word target to reach during each session, and I can reset the target at any time, which is nice.

I’ve signed up for NanoWriMo this year and I really think Scrivener will help me and others. So if you’ve signed up, or even if you just like to write, hold onto the soon-to-be realized dream that Literature & Latte will have Scrivener for Windows up and available for purchase soon at the very reasonable price of $40. Nice.

Currently loaded into Scrivener:
“Allies & Enemies,” the sequel to “Heroes & Villains”
“The Panic Pure”
“Topping”
“Bastian”

NOVELLAS: Well, I’m finishing up “H&V: The Wedding,” and I’m outlining “Masquerade.” I’ve tossed “Token” on the back burner for now, but it’s still totally a priority. “Modern Gothic” decided to be a bitchy little story, so I’ve it standing in the corner in time out–just until it knows who’s boss (hopefully me ^_^).

NOVELS: At the top of the list is “The Panic Pure,” which I’m steadily grinding away at (doesn’t that sound kind of dirty?) Next is “Emily,” which is all sketched out. Then there’s “Gentle Is the Night,” which is mostly done.

And of course, just when I thought I had everything under control… my brain decided to spew out another story, and it’s just so good that I’ve kind of moved it up toward the top of every list. It’s not a very long piece, so keep an eye out for “Bastian,” a m/m romance, coming soon.

So basically, what are the two next things? “Bastian” and “Masquerade.” Neither one is super long.
