I first purchased Scrivener on November 6, 2007 and I have been using it ever since. It is one of those rare pieces of software that does what it was designed to do really, really well. It provides the tools I need to focus on writing my science fiction stories–and then gets out of the way. I’ve written quite a few posts on Scrivener over the years. Since they are scattered throughout this blog, I’ve decided to collect links to all of them here for people who are interested in reading about how I use Scrivener and how it has made my writing life easier.

Note: At one time, I had a link to a Scrivener short story template. Alas, I can no longer locate the template, but then again, it was 10 or 12 years ago when I created it.
