At the moment my 'process' is to handwrite into notebooks on the way to work. I tried using a laptop. But somehow it changed my writing style, and I didn't enjoy it as much.
Handwriting in notebooks has been much more effective. I've written about 400 or so pages.
But I am very aware that at some stage I have to get this into Scrivener in order to then edit it and tune it up.
So, I have been considering a 'hybrid' approach. Namely:
1/ Getting a 12.9 inch ipad pro and then continueing to 'handwrite' every day in an app like Noteability or Goodnotes 5 with the Apple Pencil.
2/ Then converting the handwriting into text and pasting it into a Scrivener file on the ipad, when done.
3/ With the existing 400 pages I was thinking of scanning them into the ipad, and then converting them into text in Noteability or Goodnotes 5.
Once its in Scrivener I could then 'edit' it using the ipad keyboard case thing, once the whole first draft is in Scrivener (still quite a way to go for that. I reckon there are a good few hundred pages left)
I am loathe to just use the keyboard from the get-go. I actually like handwriting the novel. But it is feeling a bit daunting to think about the edit phase, after the first draft.
I wondered if there were any other Scrivener Peeps / Writers who had attempted some variation of this approach and any insights they had?
