Fixed the art for my mock up cover (going for traditional publishing so this is really just for me) ##writingcommunity

I checked they have an iOS app but no android app by the looks of it

I don't think so, which does kind of suck. Still i do find it worth it

Yes, I haven't played with that element yet but I have seen export options for files, and if you pick the "novel" file time it gives you a walk through and a section for formatting for self publishing.

I like it! I tend to have multiple documents for one project so having the binders and stacking in the program is very handy for how I work.

Finally moved all my writing off of Gdocs and into #Scrivener (there was a lot, I've been procrastinating) #writing

I swear after how much my characters did this for my current WIP I am a little gun-shy about starting my next project. #writingcommunity

So many choices for today's #WIPSnips, very fun! #writing #writingcommunity

“Yes,” I agree, hiding a yawn. The sun is setting now, and the world is cast into deep shades of red and purple as the sky burns. I shift to face Briga touching my hair again. “Where did a queen learn to braid? Isn’t that what servants are for?” I ask.
“I wasn’t always a queen,” she says.
“So when did a princess learn to braid?”
“I was never a princess,” she says, and I pause, confused. Briga smiles, another yawn rises up forcing my eyes closed as I cover my mouth. With a little laugh, she adds, “I’ll tell you another time.”

This was my first thought as well!

Today's #WIPSnips is from deeper in my manuscript, Clara is really going through it! #writing

"No, not lies," he whispers. I can feel my heart in my throat, Aed’s face warps into something more draconic right before me "She wishes for something else, doesn't she?"
My lips tighten into a thin line as he kneels, his head tipping a little more to the side. His tongue runs over his lips in a flick and I catch another flash of those wicked canines and bite my own lip to stay silent. I let my head drift in the same direction as Aed’s, as lazily as I can make it, matching his movement. It makes the cell spin and I can feel the darkness creep into my mind—an ache in the back of my thoughts, an ever-present ache. Focus! You need to focus! The game is harder to play this way, and he's got the high ground.

It was tough to pick for today's #WIPSnips my manuscript might only have had 8 uses of 'nightmare', but they were juicy! #Writer #writingcommunity

“So I forbade the stealing of humans, I gave those here the option to leave—”
“To die.” I correct her. She nods.
“Death is not—death is something of a problem for humans, yes,” she shifts, turning her back to the railing. “After so long they were not happy here. They had loved the beauty, the magic but time stretched out too far and they became weary.” She turns to me then. “A human soul is not made for this place.” I nod, my chest tight. “What you dream to have tonight might, with time, twist into a nightmare and then it will be too late to escape.” She reaches out and lifts my chin so I am looking at her. “I will take you home Clara.” The promise hurts.
“Not before I cure you,” the words come out too thick.

Wasn't sure if i would even have today's #WIPSnips in my manuscript, turns out there was 5 instances. #writer #writingcommunity

A sharp pain on my forehead wakes me, my eyes open to Briga’s face barely an inch from mine. Her eyes narrow, but that light has returned to them, burning quietly behind her iris.
“What have you done?” Hot shame drips down my throat at her tone. I swallow and try to push her away. “Clara.” Her voice is low, so low I barely hear her, barely notice the use of my real name.

I do love #WIPSnips and 'point' is such a good word as it can really do so many different things! #Writer

Finally starting #SunriseontheReaping (yes I'm behind) and I'm not ready.

The story is written, I know this ends. My heart is breaking already. 😭

Checking if literary agents have opened their submissions feels, just a smidge, like stalking. #querytrenches #writingcommunity

First (form) rejection. 24 hours after submission (seems oddly quick from what I have been told 🤷‍♀️). ##querytrenches #writing
