Each folder marks a chapter, and each new document is a scene. The thing titled as ‘MANUSCRIPT’ is all the documents that will be compiled when you’re done writing your book. I don’t particularly like Scrivener’s pre-sets, so I usually just throw that folder in the trash and create a new one. You’ll see that it has already even created a new folder under manuscript. Don’t forget to name your project as well - in this example I’m going to pretend I’m drafting Harry Potter, so I named it accordingly.Ī new screen will pop up where you’ll be able to start drafting. There are many different format to fit your needs, but I usually just go with Fiction, and then Novel. When you open a new project, the first thing you’re going to see is this. It’s got an enormous arrange to fit all of your needs, but I only use the most simple ones.
Although I’ve done the tutorials, I almost never use all of the software’s features. I have to add a disclaimer here since I’m one of Scrivener’s most basic users. If you always wanted to use Scrivener but never got around to it, this post is for you! It’s so easy to just organize everything in my drafts, as well as never be afraid I’m going to lose something when Word crashed or decided it wasn’t going to scroll down my monstruous 350-page document. I used to be intimidated by Scrivener when I began, since it seems like a really complicated tool, but I’ve fallen in love when I started using it.
