I see there is a thread for saying hello that seems a couple of years out of date, so I thought I’d make a new one.
Tanith is my handle, and I have been a member of this forum for around a year, ever since I bought Scrivener. I just wanted to pop in and tell everyone how excited I am by the possibilities the program offers! I recently bought Scrivener for Dummies by the renowned Ms. Hernandez, and am beginning to put Scrivener to work at last (life has this annoying habit of getting in the way and delaying things).
Most importantly, I’ve dug a binder out of my filing cabinet that contains the notes for a novel I started 25 years ago. And with Scrivener’s help, I’m beginning to revive this project!
I have so much to learn, but between the book and the tutorials offered (and the help I’ve already found here on the forums), it’s going to be a fun and productive learning process. I just wanted to say hello and express my appreciation for Scrivener!
Hullo! You’ll find that the forums contain a wealth of information regarding Scrivener, too. I’ve learned more from other posters and the Using Scrivener forum than anything else, I think.
I’m relatively new to Scrivener, even though I’ve been a member of the forum for about a year or so. Have not been active much on the forum, but I wanted to connect with other writers, and thought now would be a good time. Judging from the lack of action on the forums, however, I think I may have chosen the wrong time to get involved.
Regardless, I will persist. I go by the handle, Shift, nice to meet y’all.
I have a pretty lofty idea for a trilogy, and am hoping to start getting it more fleshed out soon, with the help of the Scrivener software.
I’ve read your book
Imagine a smell as bad as the taste of rotting flesh. A smell as bad as the taste of rotting flesh is what it sounds like!
There you have it in the shell of nut
Enough of this semantic obfuscation.
Make y’self a ham sandwich. Leave in the sun for a week or two, leave the maggots on, salt and pepper to taste. Take a bite, and let your imagination do the rest.
Time for bed,
Good night

Am a long time Scrivener user, and aspiring novelist. Been following Lit and Latte for years now, in addition to following the forums, however, I just recently created an account and have been posting here and there currently, looking to expand my relations with other like-minded writers, bloggers, authors, etc.
Saw this post and i figured it be a good place to briefly introduce myself.
I’m freshly unemployed and somewhat housebound at the moment so I’ve run out of excuses for not writing that novel.
Also a Canadian living in the Netherlands who speaks Dutch like a two-year-old, so online is pretty much as close to a writing community as I can access (or afford since everything “expat” here is automatically a money grab).
I bought Scrivener as a Christmas prezzie to me last year so just going through the videos, figuring it out.
Not drinking latte but good ol’ Canadian drip double-double in my Tim Horton’s travel mug.
Hoi from the border to the Netherlands! My Dutch isn’t very good either although I’ve been living at the border all my life. I know only a few words and if I go to the Dutch supermarket to buy cookies or chocolate, I struggle to understand most of the things written everywhere. At least, they understand and speak German.
oh Hi to everyone else, by the way. I’m new here, but not to Scrivener. I’m procrastinating and should write, but I’ve got writer’s block.
I need to convert a book to Kindle format (aargh!) and Amazon’s MS Word add-in didn’t do a very good job. Google informed me Scrivener might be the best way to go so I downloaded it. Rather than jump straight to the book that comes off the press in two weeks’ time, I decided to resurrect one of my own writing projects and am happily transferring my words created in MS Word to Scrivener. I was so impressed by what Scrivener can do for writing, I decided to pay for it before the 30 days of use expired.
Only annoyance so far has been pasting from the Windows clipboard. Sometimes all the text is crammed into the space of a single glyph and there’s no option to paste as unformatted text. Obvious workaround to paste into Notepad, copy that and paste into Scrivener.
Very happy to quit MS Word after 27 years. The last 10 have all been downhill…
It sounds like a uncooked, rotten pheasant sandwich. Two mouthfulls of that delicacy, will give you a bloody good idea of how it smells.
