I'll admit, initially I was afraid that I wasted $40.00 on the Scrivener softward but the last few days have showed me that those fears were groundless!

I've definitely been able to organize the book and it really has helps put things in perspective for me.  The work has continued and  I feel confident that its heading in a good direction.

From here on out, its Word for short stories and Scrivener for books.

Woohoo!

(I only pray that everything continues to go smoothly.  Its usually at this point in the process where something goes pear-shaped.)

And then on a personal sidenote, my parents and little brother came in for the weekend.  We went out to an Irish pub for dinner and saw a movie. It was nice.
