While I’d like to tell you my trials and tribulations of formatting on Scrivener (it really is a terrific piece of software), I’m going to spare you, because really, I could (and have been known to) go on for hours. (Besides, I’m getting the hang of it.) The biggest thing I learned (and this will […]
