Also my room is coldy! It's usually the coldest room, I think because the connector to the dryer is in here. I've hauled out...
- the space heater (I own 3)- my new fingerless gloves from the Gap
- my matching fleece sweater
- my fuzzy jammies
- my new furry socks
- and my really well-made oatmeal colored slippers from an etsy shop ($15 + $3.50 shipping - the pair I bought from another seller got holes in them really fast -- these are much thicker)
"The door of Scrooge's counting-house was open that he might keep his eye upon his clerk, who in a dismal little cell beyond, a sort of tank, was copying letters.... The clerk put on his white comforter, and tried to warm himself at the candle; in which effort, not being a man of a strong imagination, he failed."
The writing isn't being helped along by (a) the fact that I've hit another research-necessary part, and (b) my writing program got updated. Look how cute my menus are now! (I procrastinated by organizing all my research.)
Some of the icons I made myself, of course.
Scrivener is pretty much becoming the "industry standard" re software for scriptwriting, novels, and research papers. I used it throughout my MA, and for all my novels now.
You can split the screen and have research or pics on one side, and your writing on the other...
And it's got a little bar where you can set a word count goal...
But other than the icons, I haven't tried out any of Scriveners new tricks. Will save that for Dec.
Och my wee head!

My understanding is that FinalDraft is standard for screen- and TV-writing. Maybe yours is for playwrights?
So, how cold is it these days? Here... About 17 or 18 C. Not bad...
As the maker of Scrivener says, it's not a replacement for Word, Finaldraft etc. -- for the final format. What it excels at is being a great tool to do your actual writing on, and then exporting it to the other programs. And the great thing is that Scrivener listens to the feedback from customers and then integrates more and more features so that it's continually becoming a better tool for students, novelists, etc. So by "standard" I just meant, more and more people are turning to it for their drafting needs.
It's been about 5 degrees here.
See, I think the pictures and all would just distract me. I'm not good with concentration. Also, I work on a small laptop, so using up half the space for images would make the text look microscopic. I mean, if you're just going to export it into something else, what's the point? I guess I'll have to read their website... And... Oooh, I see, it's for Macs anyway. Nevermind, don't have one.
