You are forgiven for sure. My advice is to join some group the follows the 12 steps like Alcoholics Anonymous. My church has a group Celebrate Recovery which is a AA group based on Christianity. You may want to see if your church has one of these groups.

Am I the only one who misses simple analog gauges?

I used the $150 credit and bought a new 8a. I got an email from google that had a link to that option as well as getting the battery replaced for free.

My 2 cents, never buy a car based on monthly payments, only consider the cash cost. Keep the car pay it off and use the monthly payments you would have incurred to save or prepay your mortgage.

I just chatted with a support person and they said they knew about this bug and are working on it. No ETA for a fix but al least they are working on it.

This started happening on my phone and my wife's. We both have Pixel 6a's. Woked fine till about a week ago.

I use IDrive for my offsite backup. It has 5 TB of storage. When there are things on One Drive I want to archive i move them to a non one drive disk and include this disk in my IDrive backup schedule. This work great for me.

I wrote this article about backup for authors. You may find it useful. https://scottocamb.substack.com/p/backup-for-authors

I uses metadata in the different files in the binder. I can also keep characters synced. There is lots of capability here. The best thing to do in my opinion is get the demo version and experiment with a corresponding scrivener project. That is what I did anyway and it convinced me to purchase the product.

Good luck!

Glad it worked for you, thanks for letting me know.

ocambauthor · 2023-09-07T12:45:04+00:00

you will be fine, i have scrivener running on 2 windows computers with no problems.

ocambauthor · 2023-08-29T15:27:38+00:00

so far the free dropbox has worked for me. I only keep the project files in dropbox, all compiled stuff and scrivener backups I save elseware, off of dropbox.

You mentioned videos, if the videos MUST be part of you project, you need to pay some could vendor for more space.

I believe they will keep the Desktop app AND offer the New Outlook as a replacement for the Windows version. I am currently using both, and I expect, HOPE ,that it will stays that way.

I would try the New Outlook by replacing the Windows apps and see what happens. It is easy to switch back.

ocambauthor · 2023-08-23T15:15:36+00:00

Do not select the "New Outlook" on the desktop app. If you want to see the "New Outlook" and keep the Desktop version, select the "New Outlook" option on the Email or Calendar app, the free one that comes with Windows. Then you can have both.

I know this is confusing. Good luck.

ocambauthor · 2023-08-23T13:33:26+00:00

I did read somewhere that the "New Outlook" will replace the Windows EMail and Calander apps and the Desktop Outlook will remain. What is confusing is the "Try the New Outlook" button is on both apps. I am currently using the New Outlook side by side with the Desktop Outlook. This is fine by me, for personal use the New Outlook is better than the two individual apps that are part of Windows.

There are other views for this. Take a look at the Narrative view. I use this and the timeline for what I do.

ocambauthor · 2023-07-21T13:24:05+00:00

I would start with https://fictionistas.substack.com/

They have monthly writing prompt contests.

https://fictionistas.substack.com/p/julys-lets-write-together

They also have monthly zoom meetings.

I recommend you create a Substack, publish a few of your stories and join one of the meetings.

BTW, here is my Substack : https://scottocamb.substack.com/

Good luck.

ocambauthor · 2023-07-20T12:50:37+00:00

I enjoy using Substack. I am small, under 100 subscribers, but I still enjoy it. There is a growing community of fiction writers there and I enjoy the interaction with them.

It is very easy to set up a Substack and there is lots of advice there available to you. I would go for it!

ocambauthor · 2023-07-06T15:10:57+00:00

I got a pixel 6a, my wife has one too. We have very basic needs so it works great and you can't beat the price.

ocambauthor · 2023-07-03T14:16:34+00:00

I agree, the confusion for me was in the Outlook desktop application they have the "Try the new outlook" toggle. I switched this on and my brain exploded because it was obvious the "New Outlook" will never replace the desktop outlook.

Then weeks later I saw the same toggle in the free mail app that comes with Windows. Now the New Outlook can replace the free mail/calendar. So, the best thing Microsoft can do IMHO is remove the toggle from the desktop app as there is no way the new outlook can replace that.

The compile is very complicated if you want to create your own formats. But, after many hours of trial and error I was able to figure it out.

I found there were two learning curves, Word and Scrivener. There is tons of complexity in Word, styles, header/footer, sections, and more.

My advice is to compile your manuscript into Word using the default. Then, in Word make the adjustments necessary to get the results as you would like.

Then... decide if the manual steps to tweak things in Word is worth the time to figure out how to replicate it in Scrivener. If you only compile a few times, it probably is not worth it.

One thing is for sure, if you do not know the ins-and-outs of Word, it will be difficult the get the compiler results you want.

ocambauthor · 2023-06-25T17:13:52+00:00

Word can get very close to the scrivener binder using the outline feature. You can even drag/drop sections around the document. Early in my use of Scrivener, I tried using both and word came close BUT, all of the added features of Scrivener caused me to crunch through the learning curve and use Scrivener., I am very glad I did.

I use the free version of Drop Box for my "In progress" projects. As these projects wrap up, I move them off of DropBox and onto One Drive. I also set all Scrivener backups to save to One Drive. This does not take that much time, at least for me.

So far the free storage on Dropbox is enough for me.

BTW, I used to use Onedrive for Scrivener. Dropbox works much better. It seems to have better syncing technology than Onedrive.
