Writing accomplishments: Finished addressing the notes on ALL ROCS (C2) — YAY! I still need to make another pass through the entire manuscript to make sure I didn’t mess something up, but I should have no problem getting it out to the critique group by the Thursday deadline (although now the terror begins again… what if it totally sucks?). Gave C3 a tentative title (ALL BASILISKS WISE AND WONDERFUL), cleaned up the first two chapters, then argued with Scrivener a while about what the compiled version would look like.
One of the things that was confusing me this evening with the compile options is that I was getting completely different behavior depending on whether I selected chapters 1 & 2 in the binder and told it to just compile the selected sections, or if I selected “manuscript” and just clicked the checkboxes for the first two chapters. Two take-aways (I think):
- Selecting “manuscript” means there is another level of folders around everything. That probably doesn’t matter for many books, but the way I set up the epigraphs at the beginning of each chapter means that it does matter for me.
- Option-click unselects everything so you don’t have to manually deselect every other scene in the manuscript when just compiling the first two chapters.
