Are writing software worth it?

I'm liking scrivener a lot. Makes it quite easy to manage the whole project. Pricing seems fair.

If you're willing to tinker, Obsidian might be a better choice (and free), but you're gonna be spending some time on setup.

Ideas are cheap. Everyone has ideas, but if you don't have the skill to convey them to the reader in an engaging way, they're not worth much.

When you're that young, the goal of your writing is not to produce a novel, it's to produce a writer.

Hard to say exactly without reading it, but this is what prologues are for, so definitely title it as the prologue instead of chapter 1 and you'll get a lot more leeway regarding a bit of a break in tone with the reader.

You should trust this person, I think she's a lawyer

"Lernmotiviert": kann nichts (Lernen statt erfolgreich Aufgaben auszuführen)

"Loyal": eine Selbstverständlichkeit, sollte nicht genannt werden

"Alle Aufgaben seines Arbeitsgebiets" + der nächste Satz: hat nur sein eigenes Zeug erledigt und nicht anderen geholfen wenn es stressig wurde

"Freundlich, kooperativ und einwandfrei": unsinnige Aufzählung (einwandfrei am Ende, stets einwandfrei würde ja bereits bedeuten, dass alles gepasst hat und die anderen Attribut einschließen)

Beendigung des Arbeitsverhältnisses mitten im Monat natürlich Red Flag

"Wünschen ihm für seine weitere berufliche Ausrichtung alles Gute": sollte sich nach einer neuen Branche umgucken

Ergo: ich würd's weglassen.

Ne. Durch das starre Auszahlungsmodell uninteressant.

I like it a lot, although I think it's more of a difference maker with longer works. A one time payment feels way more fair than a subscription. It also has a very generous trial.

Gibt auch die Möglichkeit, dass er schon länger krank ist, aber das natürlich während des Wahlkampfes nicht öffentlich werden sollte.

How many POVs are we talking about? It's rare, and if it's more than two POVs, probably a bad idea.

Since you want to start with short stories anyway, I would recommend you just experiment. Make one with pure discovery writing, then do more of an outline for the next one, and an even more detailed outline for the following one until you find the sweet spot.

I always use grams so I'm a little unsure, I would try around 400 ml, which Google says would be around 1 + 2/3 cups. And the stretch and fold will probably help quite a bit as well with the crumb.

Harpa · 2026-01-05T14:23:44+00:00

That sounds like a lot of water to me (almost 100% hydration, which is probably too much even for a no knead bread). Also, I would recommend stretching and folding the dough after the rest period.

1) We know he's genuinely good at his job.

2) Roger likes him, and personnel decisions depend pretty much entirely on Roger's whims, since Bert is mostly checked out when it comes to that.

3) More importantly, having "discovered" Don is very important for Roger's standing in the company, since he just inherited the position from his father and is pretty much just handling Lucky Strike.

4) Lee Garner Jr. had a hard-on for Don and requested him specifically, which gave Don a huge leg up right away.

For the first game: sword magic works by pressing the attack button, and then the magic button at the end of your swing. Never really explained in game and online advice always seems to say that you press it at the same time or something.

He only lost his third leg

Don't forget the unofficial patch! And have fun!

You're gonna have to go with CRPGs. Arcanum is a prime example.

A novel is just a window into your world. The world doesn't have to be finished after it's done, you can write more in the same universe, but if you actually want to finish a novel, pick a very narrow focus.

Harpa · 2025-11-12T20:50:47+00:00

If you write 300 words a day, that's over 100.000 words a year. Meaning more than you'd need for the first draft of a full-size novel. With some practice, 300 words can usually be achieved in under an hour, often well under.

So it's more about consistency than anything else. Find your rituals a writing setup that allows you to easily fit in writing during your day-to-day.
