Tuesday Tips: Scrivener Starts

Today's tip is about Scrivener. In my last tip I talked about how I do outlining. One of the last steps was to place the scene by scene outline into Scrivener index cards.

There are several other setup things I do in scrivener.

There are a lots of Youtube videos that show you features and methods in the tool.

• Enter your character names under the Character folder
• Add their descriptions and features
• Use Google and find images of actors that match the character
• Save the actor photos in the character folders

I also create profiles of various things:

• Places, planets, cities, locations
• Ships, space ships, shuttles, ground transports
• Important objects, books, relics, devices
• Maps, regions, floor plans, ship layouts
• Web links and any other things that are important

All of this happens before I start writing the meat onto the bones.

--I love Scrivener!
