Best $5.99 I've ever invested in myself. As an aspiring writer, that means wanna-be, I've struggled with this software like a newbie on their first snipe hunt. I'll admit to being totally lost. That is until after a cry for help and a Good Samaritan on Linked In suggested I check out David Hewson's book, Writing a Novel with Scrivener.This book is not a manual as he points out, Scrivener has a manual and several online how-to videos. Mr. Hewson's approach is to guide you through a more practical approach and hits most of the high lights for the writer. Many times reading this book I had several Oprah moments.The limitations of Scrivener for Window users are pointed out. I wanted to shout hallelujah. Mr. Hewson would simply say sorry Window users this tip is for Mac users, and I could skip to the next one. Now I can relax and concentrate on writing, and no longer feel as if I'm wrestling alligators.The end of this book is also filled with tips in which to wrap up your manuscript. This will be one of my go to reference books for a long time. Writing a Novel with Scrivener gets 4.5 stars from me. Why not 5, because I needed more Windows tips.[...]
