I can sync my chapter with my phone, then take it with me without have to switch between different apps and documents. Scrivener’s new iOS app makes this process seamless. If any notes came to me during this process, I would take them down using Evernote, or another app, and then have to laboriously message them or copy and paste them when I came back to my computer. Often when I’m stuck on a chapter, I like to take a walk to clear my head and brainstorm solutions. So if you need to write five more chapters of at least 1,000 words, Scrivener lets you input each goal and see how close you are to achieving them at a glance.

Scrivener also allows you to create word count goals for each section. I’ve had people ask me whether I create separate Word documents for each chapter, and now I say, “Not anymore!” Scrivener lets me keep all my chapters separated but easily accessible, which is convenient when working on a big project. I’ve worked on five book projects with Scrivener, and I’ve been impressed with how much easier it is to stay organized, especially between chapters and sub-chapters. Now I have one document to capture all my ideas in, whether they’re pictures, snippets of text, links to articles, or quotes from a novel. I had piles of napkins and scraps of paper all over the house. I had dozens of Word documents strewn around on my computer with snippets of text. In the past, I had a hard time capturing all those ideas into one, organized place. Nearly every day I read something interesting pertaining to the story, or get a phrase to write down on a napkin, or see a picture on Pinterest that reminds me of one of my characters.
