RE: Using Scrivener to Write Posts for Steemit.com
Funny, I've never once been tempted to use Scrivener though I've been aware of it for some time.
I've been using Word or Txt to have a copy of all my Steemit posts (and all the other online writing I've done). They each have their own folder with dated sub-folders. I haven't tracked how much each post earns because it's not consistent enough. Some do really well while others don't. For me, it's a matter of mindset. I don't want to dwell on WHY one art or fiction piece did well and then the others with the same tags didn't. So I just create and have fun with it.
Everybody is different, of course. I'm only tracking income out of curiosity. At this point, it doesn't really matter to me.
As for Word, I like it for small pieces like short stories, articles, or something like a resume or report. On the other hand, Word is not really that good for big documents or collections where you want to be able to rearrange the pieces. That's where I find Scrivener so useful. I can get the total word count for a collection of stories or essays, and it also has a feature where you can set target word counts. I'll probably be writing more about it in the future. Maybe it will change your mind--or not. When push comes to shove, we all have our favorites.
