Oooh, I do hope this is in the right place. I’m going to blog about this as well, so my non-Scrivener-using writing friends can see it. I’ve spent a long time puzzling over how to manage the massive world of Amnar in Scrivener. I’ve written loads of books, have masses of background and notes to manage, as well as a webserial to write and maintain. I could use a different Scrivener file for each book, but that means I have to go back to the original file to get the research and background I need. (I have a thing dubbed an “Amnapedia” which is massive and growing fast.) Now, I think I have the answer. I write all my books in one Scrivener file, but I keep them in their own named folder, moving them in and out of the “Draft” area, depending on which one I’m working on. I’ve been impressed that although I need a bit of patience for statistics to be re-calculated, this system has worked very well. I currently have two books of a new serial sitting in this one Scrivener file, plus the new webserial. Doing it this way means I can store books in the “Research” area and search them easily whenever I need to check up on something. Hopefully, this will mean far fewer continuity errors in the future. So far, it has made maintaining a very big world much easier, even if most of it is still in my head.
