I've definitely found having an equal mix of structure and freedom has benefited my writing so much 🤎

This is so amazing! I am finishing up my first draft and have been considering getting Scrivener! Good to see it recommended. I go into the first draft with no plot or anything - all I do is have an idea, do basic characters and an overarching plot, and make a Pinterest board and playlist. That is what works best for me! But I think I’ll do a reverse outline now that all my ideas are down.

I would definitely recommend Scrivener to anyone who is writing a book! It can be a little confusing when you first start using it and even after a few years I'm still discovering new functions. But it's a great way to keep everything in one place 😊

That's fantastic that you've found a way that works best for you! Reverse outlining is definitely a great tool after finishing a first draft 🤎
