My Love-Hate Relationship with Scrivener
While I love how I can organize and move chapters around easily without much scrolling, I hate a few things even more, which are huge time-wasters in my writing career:
- I can't make the screen bigger without making the font bigger like you can in, say, an Internet browser when you increase the screen print size.
- I can't do a search. At least I could never get it to work, so trying to find one magazine market in a sea of several hundred market names was not possible.
- When I compiled it into a Word document so I could do final proofreading, Scrivener randomly smooshed words together and randomly messed up the formatting, which wasted a lot of time. So my text might look like this:

Do you have kryptonite as a writer?
As a writer, you could have a "kryptonite"—that one thing you can't seem to get over. It can be a writing disability, a lack of time, or something else. The most successful authors, like LB Wells, can overcome these challenges.
There are some actions you can do to combat your weakness:
- You need to identify it.
- It would be best if you eliminated it.
- You must take the necessary steps to prevent it from returning.
In a nutshell, developing your writing skills and imagination is essential to become a writer. It's vital to plan your writing week so you can write many words. It would be best if you worked on speed. It will be ideal if you have good time management skills.

Writing for Parenting Magazines
I think
it’s important to record how you started doing something you are very
passionate about, so I’m going to share my writer story. Keep in mind I
didn’t have Internet access at my house until roughly 2013, so my early career
was spent researching and submitting at the library, at my mom’s house, my
dad’s house, friends’ houses, my husband’s workplace, etc. I was determined and
I had a fire in my belly!
I always thought of myself as a writer growing up, but I didn’t think I was that great at it…nothing special. I got good grades in English and Creative Writing classes in school and even wrote some decent papers during my community college years. I was always observing, journaling, and venting on paper. Interesting things happened to me, as well as experiences that would have served as great warning stories for others, but I didn’t know how to craft them into something people would want to read.
