Rules, Schmules...Sometimes...
NOTE: PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED ON MY SUBSTACK at accooperwrites.substack dot com.*** I made a note here in my Substack about a topic I wanted to discuss at a later date. Welcome later date!And that note said [minus the typos]…“Why rules for writing should be more like suggestions that you consider.

While it may seem redundant to have two tools that offer similar features, I'm all about making things easier whenever possible.ScrivenerI've had Scrivener for a while now, and while I'm a pantser, it took me a while to figure out how to incorporate it into my workflow. I say that, because so much of the writing advice out there in regard to Scrivener is from people who plot. I also plot, howeve...
