Now I need to know more. Tangled webs and all that. Imagine the trouble I'd get in to if I were let loose in a physical archive.Julia Thorleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00485301135194085398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764329434741342023.post-80258684802976497142019-09-11T14:49:22.460+01:002019-09-11T14:49:22.460+01:00Patsy- it's reassuring that it does work.

Though I think I've had to build up to this stage to feel I can cope with it. :-)Carolbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578076528292643928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764329434741342023.post-71366172595401902942019-09-10T14:56:23.148+01:002019-09-10T14:56:23.148+01:00Yes, I generally have several different projects o...Yes, I generally have several different projects on the go. I find that it's helpful to work on something else between drafts, and to have things at different stages, so if I'm not in the mood for eg editing, I can research, or write new stuff, or format something, rather than having just one option.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764329434741342023.post-42937203254528005872019-09-09T16:03:22.478+01:002019-09-09T16:03:22.478+01:00Thank you lostin...

Yes there's still more to learn with Scrivener but I can get on with the writing much quicker, so it's all positives.<br /><br />Archives are lethal, so many avenues of interest trying to distract you from what you've gone there for. :DCarolbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578076528292643928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764329434741342023.post-82078404014252284262019-09-09T15:06:07.653+01:002019-09-09T15:06:07.653+01:00Good luck with all you have to do, you seem well o...Good luck with all you have to do, you seem well on track and are aware of the moments that are wasted. And an achievement, learning Scrivener, well worth it isn’t it. Yes, I enjoy the research aspect of a novel, but tend to get bogged down in the Shrewsbury Archives and never emerge 🤗, lostinimaginaryworlds.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14765118845864442948noreply@blogger.com
