A few months back, I explored how you can export and sync your Scrivener projects with an Android device (or any device) for writing on the go. Since then, I’ve had a lot of good feedback on that post. It made me wonder whether this sync functionality Scrivener has can be used for other things. […]

For several years, I’ve been looking for a convenient way to track my writing online and/or through an app. Although I have tried numerous solutions, I just never found one that quite works for me.

Back in April, I posted links to some of the stories written by Writing Challenge participants that I had come across. At that time, my goal was to repeat every month, highlighting the fruits of the labor of my fellow writers. Alas, time ran away from me and it didn’t happen in May. Now, with […]
