The Great Scrivener Debate, part 1

The Great Scrivener Debate, part 1

Publishing, Writing

I had used other methods of storage before, some of which had existing file structures associated with them that I had backed up, and then I also had various pieces I had labored over at work (sorry, not sorry) which ended up getting stored in several work backups and then a massive dump of all that stuff after I left my job. Needless to say, what I ended up with was a working structure of mostly current stuff, backups of that stuff, then backups and dumps of several other platforms and things that I had never fully gotten around to integrating into whatever newer systems I came up with. As someone who was at least attempting to be a professional writer, writing itself was the main thing. All of that busywork and maintenance was stuff I knew I needed to get around to, but at the same time it never mattered enough in the grand scheme of things (unless I needed to dip back to find an older document or some such) to truly hold my attention.

How you all doing? I haven't had the energy for socials at all after losing my health insurance (with a single week of advance notice) and scrambling to figure out how I'm going to continue to be not dead for the near future. What's new? Did I miss anything interesting?

Cool! Just lost my health insurance today, so now I go from spending nothing on my prescriptions to hundreds a month that I don't have! Yay!

My wife randomly decided to watch Better Call Saul and so far this is way more for me than Breaking Bad was. I tried three times to get through that show and never made it all the way through. Some great performances but something about it was so relentlessly depressing.
