Some topics that seem helpful for such a book…
- Many examples of how novelists use and fit features into their writing process, including sample scene titles, document notes, tag sets, link usage, color meanings, etc.
- The whole compilation process and options
- The Windows version as more than a side-thought (although ongoing sidebars might work). The risk, of course, it that it might make the book seem out of date a bit faster.
- A good description of how to get started in a very simple way (what’s a suggested first approach to Scrivener to get started effectively), plus a list of potential next steps (with the item and a short description of what it is and how it might help) so people know how to use more features, and what they might do for them.
- A short list of the most valuable/popular keyboard shortcuts
- Survey results with a ranking of the most popular features and how people use them
- Using Scrivener with multiple devices and Dropbox (or equivalent)
8 ) Simple explanation of how to use MML - Various ways of getting writing projects in and out of Scrivener
– Outlines/Mind Maps into Scrivener via OPML
– MS Word (or other major word processor) into Scrivener and vice-versa
– Storyist (e.g. for iPad): How to get a project into Scrivener
Hope something here is helpful. Look forward to seeing the book.
