Do you guys use Scrivener to draft your books? If so, what's your favourite feature? And if not, what else do you use to write your books? 😊
Also make sure to watch my new video all about FREE writing software: czcams.com/video/_J5tsNsWh_A/video.html
Scrivener is great, and really convenient. But I use either Google Drive or Word Online because I is DERP! xD ^^
I've experimented with the corkboard and the outline layout and I think my brain preferred the outline. The corkboard is more fun, absolutely, but the amount of info about the chapter you are able to list in the Outline function really helps me know where to place things. Y'know?
I purchased Scrivener a while ago, and I always mean to use it. However, I find using Notepad so easy to jot down my ideas. And then I use OpenOffice for my final edit.
I love Lasmina 💘I want to eat her😈 Raaargh!! 😊
Why do you not use Scrivener to format and edit? I'm writing in Word, and editing in Indesign so I can export as an E-pub. I'm just now looking into Scrivener. I'm looking for something I can do everything in, from beginning to end. Is Scrivener not that software? Thanks.
I really like the idea of having a storyboard in a separate folder and then seeing it all on cards. And found some other useful stuff. Thank you.
It is so good to see experienced authors sharing how they use this product, thank you. I am a newbie and just bought Scrivener 3 and thought that the interactive tutorial was terrific. Given the complexity of the program, the tutorial was clear, helpful, and easy to follow. I quickly and easily imported my draft novel and research materials into Scrivener.
I’ve always loved writing but have treated it like a hobby for most my life. Ive been watching your videos for a while and they’ve helped me take my writing more seriously and organize and make legitimate progress. Thanks for doing what you do!
That's awesome, keep writing! 😃
Thank you for this! I finally installed Scrivener about a month ago (after using Word for many years) and this is one of the few tutorials I've discovered that wasn't 5-10 years out of date.
Great info, delightfully presented. Excellent job. You've sold me, I will start with Scrivener right away.
Would also be great to see a video on using Scrivener for non-fiction, but I can certainly extrapolate. Thanks!
I just bought Scrivener and I can't wait to figure out what I'm doing with it!
definitely getting this. i pray for huge success for you!!
Thank you!
Awesome run through! I've been using Scrivener for about a year and still didn't know a few of those features! Thanks! I'm gonna go write now. :D
Thank you so very much. I had a rough time trying to figure out how to get started. This was JUST what I needed!!
So glad I could help 😊
Thanks so much! Loads of helpful information! Cheers!
What a wonderful overview! I just installed Scrivener, working on a 250-page (as of today, and only 2/3 finished) Technical Manual in Word. Scrivener won’t import it, throws errors (I believe due to copious Footnotes)... but you helped me clarify a lot of things I hoped Scrivener does. My next book will be easier, thank to this! 🤗👍
So glad it was helpful!
Very helpful as I'm ramping up on Scrivener. Thank you!
This is really helpful, thank you!
I like this! Thank you. I just purchased Scrivener because I'm novelizing my screenplay and this is the most similar software I've seen to Final Draft.
Great review.
Thank you.
With you good luck and inspiration in writing *)
great video as always! definitely wanna try scrivener now :D
This is really great, Iasmina! I have a question for you in case that you a Q&A anytime soon: In your experience, you had to find the right moment to start writing something? I'm talking about specific things like having a place for your own, enough "peace" to focus well on your project, a very well developed idea of what you wanted to write about, etc. I'm asking, because I really want to start writing my first book, but I feel that I don't have the special conditions to focus well on it. I hope you understand what I mean. Anyways, thank you so much! Your help will be great for when I start!
I think if you want to write something, just sit down and do it. It's a bad habit to wait for a special moment to materialize, it might never happen. Although speaking from experience I would say start working on your outline first, even if it's just a flimsy one. Having some idea of where you want the book to go will make the writing process much easier. Good luck with your writing!
@@IasminaEdina Thank you very much for the reply, Iasmina! And thank you for encouraging me to do it!
Really great overview of Scrivener. Keep up the wonderful videos.
Thank you!
@@IasminaEdinaAnytime...well deserved.
Haha you are so pretty and I loved the way you presented this in a fun and funny way especially the headphones comment lol. Great work thank you I think I am gonna go for this software
Can you have more than one project in scrivener? I tried having more than 1 project and the 1st project was removed. Just wondering. Thank you
This was very helpful. Thank you! :)
I know I'm nitpicking but the binder gray scale color. Is there any way to change it? Maybe make it darker like it was in Scrivener 2. Also, the corkboard index cards now are black cards without the blue horizontal lines (though they retained the red top line). Can that be restored?
Thank you for shared..👍👍👍
I live in the uk and have just started looking at scrivener so very very new! Currently on a free 30 day trial can anyone tell me the cost for installing complete programme thanks
Thanks
Hello, useful video. Thank you. I heard you talk about formatting your books in Word. Can you do a video on your process? It would be helpful. God bless!!
Not sure what kind of formatting you’re looking for but I just published a video on manuscript formatting 😊
It feels good that Scrivener can be installed in Linux. Thanks for this walkthrough, Iasmina. Great video. 🤓
Hi, thanks, one question. Do the titles of the storyboard chapters sync up with the names on the actual manuscript. Similarly do the names in the character folder sync up with the names in the manuscript, so that if I click on a name I immediately get a list of all the places in the project where the name comes up. Like how tags work.
Have you heard of Papyrus Author? I think it is better than Scrivener. What do you think?
I have not heard of it, will look into it!
Scrivener I shall try next. Intimate Encounter by Deren ice is a mighty great Book.
I'm so late to this video. Does anyone know if the mac version works the same as the windows one? I've just downloaded a 30 day trial for scrivener (windows 10) and I'm so very, very overwhelmed. Is this the right tutorial?
if you use the fiction templates, are all the margins etc all ready set?
Awesome tutorial!! Very very helpful! Love it! Quick question lol, what is besheet (not sure how that is spelled) method? I tried searching it and spelled it multiple ways with no luck 🤔
It's called the Beat Sheet Method and I have a video on it here: czcams.com/video/KjgnHB-FE3A/video.html
@@IasminaEdina Awesome! Thanks for the quick response and the correct spelling!😊
@@IasminaEdina OMG. I'm so glad Beat Sheet is a "thing." There are several mind-blowing authors who address this: Randy Ingermanson & his brilliant Snowflake strategy; Jamie Nash, Blake Snyder, (Save The Cat Series) on structure, beat cards. Perhaps these research-based scaffolds will resonate with my fellow writers as they did for me. 🧘🏼♂️
Can you export the whole manuscript to the docs in one file?
Yes, definitely!
Hey! I got Scrivener a few months ago, how do you feel about security? I will be starting my novel soon and I'm worried about hackers?
I tried it mostly for fanfiction and short stories Scrivener’s most of the time offline. You’ll have no pressure on getting hacked.
Do you do 121 tutoring
Can you explain how to format foe kindle since epub compile is not accepted into kindle previewer, compile to mobi cannot be done without kindle gen and since kindle gen does not exist anymore? Im facing this issue and i don't seem to find any answers online. All videos are out of date and do not include the latest changes.
I use Calibre to tweak .mobi files. You might find it easier to compile to ePub from Scrivener and then use Calibre to finish the formatting for Kindle 🙂. Hope this helps.
@@IasminaEdina thx for the tip. ill try it and hope it works
Thank you for such a nice video. Your presentation is also very good. I am totally new to learning and i was looking for some software to help me organize and i feel that scrivener is a good software. Since i am just a beginner in this field can you advise any software which is as good as scrivener but free to use. Also any other software which i should consider for writing and editing book. It will be a great help. Thanks. Mohit From India.
I'm afraid there is no free alternative that I know of to Scrivener. It's simply much better than anything else out there. But as to other software, please watch my two videos here full of recommendations: czcams.com/video/YbGVR3iCMeg/video.html and czcams.com/video/JGU_uwa4l6k/video.html
@@IasminaEdina Thanks
Does this have security for preventing someone from hacking your info❓
Security is something you need to consider for your computer system as a whole. Scrivener files are as secure or insecure as all your other data. Start off with a good anti virus, firewall etc. And don’t visit dodgy sites on the internet.
Dear Iasmina, his comment responds to general experiences! It is not directed against this video! I use Windows and you pointed out, you use Mac. The reason I write here: It is my understanding, that in 3.0 the Mac and the Windows versions are almost identical. My "issue": Lovely "story structure" in version 1.9 with beautiful button on LEFT PANEL IN A VIDEO (another video!) NONE IN THE SOFTWARE. LOVELEY "story board" IN VIDEO ABOUT VERSION 3.0 WITH BEUTIFUL BUTTON ON LEFT SIDE PANEL NONE IN THE SOFTWARE! My problem I wanted to actually "USE THE SOFTWARE".Is there anywhere a source that explicitly and, exclusively reports where one can find existing functions?
Subscribed. The literature & latte tutorials are plodding and mechanical.
I’m a visual learner, and your slides are just what the doctor ordered.
your accent seems familiar. where are from?
lol i'm from Bakersfield
im already lost.
Sorry Mac is no good for me - thanks anyhow
Iasmina, I have to give some constructive criticism / advice for your videos. You will have so many more subs if you do this. Please, increase the information density of your narration - significantly. It's very tempting to click off the video in the first 30 seconds because it's just pointless fluff. People already don't want to click on a 20 minute video to begin with, and for you to spend so long getting to the point means that a LOT of people are going to click off.
This is what I mean: in the first 2 minutes of this 20 minute video, less than 10 seconds contained useful information. 95% of what you said communicated nothing of value to the viewer. All you did was reiterate the title of the video (which the viewer knowingly clicked on) several times over, and state a bunch of obvious truths about different things working for different people. I imagine you feel like you are "supposed" to have this introduction section, because it's just... what people do? But it's completely unnecessary and only serves to waste the viewer's time.
You know all those online cooking recipes where the first half of the page is 3 paragraphs about how autumn is their favorite because of the fond memories of going to her grandmother's house on weekends and blah blah blah blah blah you don't give a F***!! You clicked because you want the recipe, not because you wanted to read an essay about this lady's favorite autumn smells growing up or whatever. It's all completely superfluous, useless content that the reader gains no value from. They just want the recipe.
Same with this video. Nothing you said in the first 2 minutes was useful at all. We clicked because we want the "recipe" - a tutorial / tips and tricks on scrivener. You don't have to ramble about every ingredient or how everyone is different, just lay down the facts in as concise a manner as you can. People appreciate it. Look at Adam Ragusea's cooking channel, he has exploded in popularity because he gets to the point IMMEDIATELY with absolutely ZERO fluff or unneeded words. He has a journalism background, so he knows people will just not read /watch if it doesn't hook them immediately and keep them constantly engaged.
Tip: Look at your youtube analytics. I would bet that you have a low viewer retention rate because you fail to operate within the attention span of most viewers. And keep in mind, your reported retention rate will automatically be a bit higher than it otherwise would be due to the fact you're a physically attractive young female with a nice camera and feminine voice. _Everyone,_ male or female, enjoys looking at attractive people, this is just a fact of reality. Your views would actually be even lower if they were based upon the quality of your _content_ alone. I don't mean that in a mean way, honestly, I'm trying to just make it really apparent that you have lots of good things going for you but are hurting yourself by wasting viewers' time.
In short, your video has really suffered from the fact that it is very long-winded, rambly, and inconcise.
I strongly recommend you meticulously dissect your script and remove every single word or sentence that is even remotely superfluous. If the viewer doesn't *NEED* it in order to understand what you're teaching/showing them, then _you_ don't need to waste their time saying it. Example: At the end of your introduction, you say "otherwise of course, you know, just use it how you want to use it and how it works for you, because that will be different for every single writer, but, if that sounds like something you would be interested in seeing, then let's go to my computer" - that communicated literally *nothing* to the viewer that they didn't already know. And that's what 95% of the first 2 minutes of this video was. You would have been better off cutting out the first 2 minutes entirely and just starting on the screen.
You have a lot of potential, but I thought you could benefit from someone telling you this. I see SOOOO many people fail to realize they're making this mistake and never become popular because of it. Try to take it to heart with not only your videos but your book writing too - so many books are full of long-winded anecdotes that don't really provide anything of lasting value to the reader. Don't be one of those authors! Be concise, as concise as possible. Cut out literally ANYTHING that the reader doesn't genuinely benefit from reading. I hope this is helpful, and best of luck to you and your channel :)
There's a certain irony in a comment of this length talking about information density 😁
For what it's worth, I quite liked the slower, more conversational pace of the video. Everyone is so determined to pander to shorter and shorter attention spans these days, I write like it when someone asks down and talks like a human being. Each to their own, I guess!
