Everybody is always talking about Scrivener. It's the program I'm writing my novel in. But, do you need it? Should you be using? How do I use it?

4 (or 5) things (I lost count) to help you when you're writing to feel like pushing a Bulldozer up a mountain.

I finshed plotting and then I got derailed. Here are some of the "obstacles" I let block me for the past few weeks.

I hit an important milestone and I want to share the plotting technique that took me from working on a plot for over a year to just four days.

Ok, I'm in a new section of the book, now what? How do I get from where I am to where I want this thing to go? How do I figure out a plot from vague ideas and images?

This is the first episode and I can think of no better place to lay out what this podcast is going to be, what you can expect to hear, and why I'm creating it. If this were a novel it would be the introduction.
