I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…because I think I see it in my ‘future’ as a writer. Right now I’m working on a short Regency romance.
I’m a follower of your awesome blog!
I ‘liked’ your fb page as Eva-Joy Schonhaar.
I want to write like a pro!
I’d love to try scrivener to see how it compares to new novelist. This would be a big help for my novel!
pls add me
already a follower of your blog.
Almost forgot, I’m a subscriber of the blog and a twitter follower!
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…..as I have too many things going at once – loose ends to wrap up, and new ideas all the time. I love the idea of cards, folders, and the cork board. I’m working, mainly, on two totally different projects — the first is historical fiction based in a New York hot springs spa town in the early 1900s, and the second is a collection of “mom-oir” essays about being a mom to twin boys.
P.S. I already follow your blog
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…
Scrivener can help me with a story I’m developing about an every day guy, with a bevvy of personal problems, who is struck by lightening and becomes anything but ordinary. He absorbs the experiences and abilities of other people – through the touch of a hand. His personal problems don’t go away, they just get more complex…
Following on Twitter, tweeted, already follow your blog and Liked you on FB!
Okay, now I’m following you on both my Writing and Weight Loss Twitter accounts – and tweeted to both
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO… I write non-fiction, fiction, comics, film history papers, you name it!
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO… so that I can’t use the excuse that I don’t have the proper tools to write.
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO BECAUSE… I want to take a passion of mine and turn it into a professional career. And that starts with professional tools. And plus because my trial ran out and I can’t figure out how to get my work off of it :/
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…
i am considering a sci-fi called Doomsday Conspiracy.
Completed some poetry (ie “Nothing Grows At Ground Zero”
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…because it’s what I was born to do! I love Scrivener, but I’m coming to the end of my free trial. It’s almost time to pay, so I figured I’d try to win this instead!
I also tweeted about, followed you on here and Twitter, and liked you on Facebook.
Oh…and I’m working on a young adult fantasy novel. With Scrivener, of course!
I WANT TO RIGHT LIKE A PRO… my writing and ideas are too haphazard and muddled. I need some discipline! Current story idea is based on a group of creatures that eat shadows.
I want to write like a pro… As my workspace for my writings is a scattered mess of various documents and files and sometimes, organising it all can be very annoying, especially when the inspiration comes to me.
I’m following you on twitter under the ID chocowithcurves, and it is with this same account, that I tweeted the offer.
I’ve liked you on facebook, with the name Sandra Ebulu, and I’ve subscribed to your blog. Please count me in.
Thanks.
Oops. Forgot to mention that my e-mail address is siteno.ebulu@gmail.com

Thanks
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO! and im sick of having to reuse the temporary free version as I work on my novel about the post-apocalyptic world (300 pages done so far!) Thanks!
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO, which is not yet possible on Windows right now. But I am going to be the winner of Scrivener, then I CAN WRITE LIKE A PRO!
I want to write like a Pro…because writing like an amateur isn’t really cutting it.
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO … I have a novel in progress that doesn’t get near enough of my attention (mostly because of two kids, 4 and 2, who get most of my attention). I love the research and organizational features you described about the software. Seems great! Thanks for the opportunity!
I already follow you on Twitter, and I tweeted about the contest.
And I follow the blog and liked your Facebook page.
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO… Actually, I want to give it to my brother, who has written three novels with tools not nearly as good as Scrivener. followed on Twitter and tweeted.
Just “liked” u as Virginia Border. Have a great weekend!!!
I want to write like pro so I can get this unruly novel done.
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO… My daughter uses it on her Mac, and I’d love a copy for myself to use on Windows. Thanks.
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO.
I tried the trial version of Scrivener and loved it. Would love to win a copy so I can get all my writing organised. Currently working on the second in a three-part paranormal dystopian series.
Followed, tweeted, subscribed and liked too.
I want to write like a pro and I follow u on Twitter. I am working in the story of my family and our unusual first home.
“I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…” because it’s preferable to writing like an amateur (or should that be ‘AMA’?). Also, I do quite like using Scrivener, so I’d be pleased to have a proper registered copy.
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…Scrivener is the software for writers, period. If I have a license, I will use it for all my writing projects: PhD Thesis, academic essays, journals, novels, blog-posts, screenplays, even as repositories of pdf files and associated notes with lots of cross-linkings between documents. It allows both the rigor of a structured framework for writing and the flexibility of ‘associative’ growth of ideas. It is a software which disciplines and enhances one’s writings. If easy selection and clinical excision of one’s collected and developed ideas is all about writing like a pro, then one cannot be such a pro without Scrivener
I want to write like a Pro: after reading your comments on Scrivener, I definitely believe it to be a tool to help me do that….
I am writing about an FBI agent who works the federal crimes on an Indian Reservation….murder being the prime crime…..wish me luck!!
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…
I want to write like a pro. Ive been writing practically all my life. I believe my life has been carefully orchestrated testimonies, one after the other. I am finally answering the call to share the story.
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO… Love that the Windows version has been released!
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO! This looks like the coolest program! I am writing my first novel about a recurring dream I’ve had in which my grandmother is a burlesque queen. The story is about her rise from ophan to star!
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO. I need a great tool to help organize my thoughts for my current WIP and this looks great!!
I want to write like a pro because back when I was a kid I had always wanted to be a writer. I loved books and stories of all kind and had hoped that I would be able to create my own story that I could see in actual print one day. I had put this dream on the back burner, like many people do when they grow up, but have decided that It’s never too late to get reacquainted with your dreams. I have discovered that while dreams may become buried, sometimes by life’s circumstances, they are never truly forgotten.
What am I working on…..I am currently still writing a YA fantasy novel that I started about a year ago.
I want to write like a pro – actually, I have been writing since I was fourteen and my last work was my doctoral dissertation, which I will defend within the next month or so (depending on how the red tape works). I am always writing several things at once (fiction, nonfiction, short stories blog posts) and it looks like Scrivener is much better than the post-its and random notes on slips of paper and the back of my hand method.
I want to write like a pro and never will if I can’t stay organized
I’ve been wanting to try Scrivener FOREVER. I’ve got a lot of irons in the fire. Currently, I’m working on a novel, a picture book, and a NF book. Technically, I have a few picture books in the works, and a couple novels
And a short story LOL It’s a lot to keep organized and I could soooo use the help!
I’ve followed (on Twitter and blog), liked and tweeted
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO . . . I havn’t tried Scrivener yet, and would like to. Followed you on Twitter, tweeted, and liked you on FB. Thanks for the interesting articles on the software, as well. I’m working on a novel I started during NaNoWriMo, as well as a couple of picture books in the works. More info on my books and upcoming ones at: http://www.shutta.com.
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO….I’m finishing my revision of Serendipity and Me for Viking, due out in 2013. But I’m interested in Scrivener for writing a screenplay. You can find me and my own contest at http://www.judithlroth.com. Thanks!
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO… and this looks like some fun software to play with.

I’m editing my YA Victorian adventure at the moment; your recent posts on structure have been a great reminder of how important it is in any story – thank you!
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO …I’m working on several picture books, a novel and my 15th play for children! Could use some help keeping it all organized! Happy Writing! http://jenniferkirkeby.blogspot.com/
I want to write like a pro…this software would be amazing help on my middle grade novel as well as future educational books!
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…because all my writing thus far has been amateur. Specifically, and in answer to your “bonus” question, thanks to NaNoWriMo I have four first drafts I need to spend some quality time with.
I already follow you on Twitter.
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO… so I researched Scrivener ages ago. It was highly recommended but didn’t offer a PC version so I’ve been using a Scrivener-recommended competitor. Finally downloaded Scrivener for PC a couple weeks ago, got through the tutorial, and am transferring files for my just-started graphic novel onto it.
I have two other books in negotiation right now; I’m very excited about putting all my books on Scrivener and enjoying a new process that’s a LOT more organized.
Off to follow, tweet, like…
And btw Shutta Crum also announced your contest to our SCBWI region — that’s what brought me here.
Thanks for letting me know about Shutta’s announcement, Ruth.
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO … I used the Scrivener trial and liked it. I’m working on a literary novel set in a music festival featuring a 20-something girl with a special ability and an otherworldly element.
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…I often don’t write my scenes in order, so I think this software could be really useful! Thanks for the chance!
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO; I’m revising a middle grade fantasy and starting a YA urban fantasy. I’ve heard great things about scrivener (we use a really different version at work) and would love to try it.
I like you on Facebook & added your site to my blogroll.
“I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…” I can definitely use some help organizing!
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO! Great contest–count me in. I have writer friends who started using this program and have never looked back. I’d love to start a new book from scratch using it!
I follow everywhere I believe. Does that make me a stalker?

I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…because I feel writing in my bones. I am working on a chapter book for children…and numbers of picture books, and stories, and articles. I’ve just jumped into this adventure and wonder where it will take me. I wonder what magical devices will help me float, roll, stumble, run, and fly there…maybe Scrivener will be one of those.
PS…I follow your blog, and liked your FB page….
I WANT TO WRITE LIKE A PRO…I’m working on a middle grade children’s book and would love to have some pre-built organizational tools.
