It's on special this month from what I understand. With a dystopian to plot and write soon (more characters, more subplots) I just might have to get it. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516493326566981116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885739376242447475.post-47175749350905491782012-11-08T11:36:45.863-06:002012-11-08T11:36:45.863-06:00I've heard of Scrivener, but never checked it ...I've heard of Scrivener, but never checked it out.

Only I was also trying to dodge the cars so I didn't get run over in the process. :)<br /><br />I'm going to have to check Scrivener out. Anything that helps to stay organized is a good think.
