![]() Talking of the binder, let’s take a quick look at it. I just drag and drop it into place in the binder. Not only that, I’ve also realized what the section I split off would be more effective if it came first, that’s easy to fix too. I just put my cursor where I want to split it and go to documents, split at selection. Actually, you know what, I’ve realized that this section would work better as two separate sections, that’s easy to fix. I can add a title and now I’m ready to start typing out my new section. To do so, I click on the Add button and I get another blank document beneath whatever was selected in the binder. Here I’ve written one short section and I now want to create another. It’s entirely up to you how large or small those chunks are, you could divide your work up into chapters, scenes, paragraphs, arguments, or anything else. One of the key ideas behind Scrivener is that it’s easier to work on a long text if you break it down into smaller more manageable chunks. I like working with page view turned off though. If you prefer writing on virtual pages, you can switch to page view. You can format your text however you want using the familiar tools in the format bar above the editor or by using the menus or keyboard shortcuts. I can go ahead and start writing in the editor. Not just the writing itself, but also research, notes, and anything else you want to refer to. On the left here there’s a list showing all the documents in the project, we call this the Binder because it acts like a ring binder, you throw into it everything you need to get your writing done. ![]() Once that’s done, Scrivener’s main project window appears and I’m ready to start writing. It’s up to you where you keep your Scrivener projects so be sure to pick somewhere you’ll remember. Here, I’m going to choose blank, which will create an empty project without any template information. There are templates for novels, scripts, academic writing, and more. To create a new project, go to file, new project, you’ll see I’m presented with a window that allows me to choose from different project templates. First, let’s fire up Scrivener and create a new project. In this video, I’m going to show you how easy it is to use Scrivener for your writing, and how it’s useful for working on long documents.
