On Writing : Phoenix Authors! by Suzanne Bronson

Allow me to make a comment about Scrivener. I have used this program for years. They continue to upgrade and I own the latest edition. It is a complex and quirky program. The creators are obviously brilliant individuals, but I truly believe they don't think like writers. They think like computer programmers. I attempted to download the manual for the new version and it's 750 pages. What's wrong with that picture"? I was working on my novel when it suddenly disappeared. I couldn't find it, so I emailed Literature and Latte. They told me some steps that didn't work, so I ended up giving them control of my computer. It required several days for them to find it. Since then I am afraid of it and use Word. I am the type of writer that when I want to write, I want to do it. Scrivener has become so cumbersome from my point of view that I spend too much time with the workings of the program rather than my writing. I purchased a new manual from Amazon, one of those supposedly easy use explanations. All it does is make me feel stupid.

John Roane I believe your comment is in the wrong place. What post were you commenting on? I can move it to correct one so others, who can help you, can see it.. Otherwise I will need to delete this. Thank you.

Move it where it needs to go. Thanks. I have had problems with Scrivener, and out of frustration, am now using Word to write my novel. I does the same thing as Scrivener, just in a different way. After years of using it, I am very proficient with it.
