Authors Dish: Writing Software: Ruth A. Casie

CTR asked:
Which writing software do you use (something other than MS Word, like Jutoh and Scrivener)? What’s your favorite feature(s), and why?

Ruth A. Casie said:
My writing software of choice is Scrivener. I can keep an outline, my text and research all together in one place.

I can’t tell you how often in the past I’ve spent more time re-researching an item. I thought I was clever in putting links on a page and saving them. With Scrivener I include research links with chapters and can easily switch and find what I need.

After doing NaNoWriMo and JerRoWriMo (my New Jersey RWA chapter version of the national writing month) I found tracking work count motivated me. I can easily create word count targets and track them with Scrivener.

I mentioned that I can include my outline in Scrivener. I can do much much more. I create the file for my series and include each book in the series. I can create my series bible, I can create character profiles to keep eye and hair color (and other things) consistent. I can also keep track of my book marketing all in one place.

The Highlander’s English Woman

[ Historic Fantasy Romance ]

Laura Reynolds and long-time friend of Jamie Maxwell Collins are in love. She adores his playful sense of humor, caring nature as well as his strong sense of honor. They have known each other from the time Jamie trained with her older brother at their home on the English side of Scottish border. Jamie has become an excellent soldier except he won’t fight and while she knows him well, she has no idea why.

Jamie Maxwell Collins lives on the Scottish side of the border. Carefree and open, he hides a dark secret so powerful it could destroy his family and those he cares for. He can’t involve Laura in this deception. He mustn’t give her hope for a future together. Instead, he ends their relationship.

While visiting Jamie’s uncle, Laura stumbles upon Jamie’s secret, but has nowhere to turn. The only person with the answer, her brother is gone, killed on a Welsh battlefield. In her heart of hearts she knows Jamie is innocent. Their relationship in tatters and with no hope of reconciliation, she plays a deadly game to find a way to exonerate Jamie even though it means agreeing to a political marriage. She has no idea the entire game has been orchestrated by her future husband, Jamie’s greatest enemy.
