02 – I use Scrivener for poetry! I’m still refining the workflow in 2.0, but I’m beginning to work it out.Īll the poetry (I tend to write reasonably short poems, no more than a couple dozen lines per piece if I ever wrote something like Kenneth Koch’s Ko, I doubt this would work) lives in a single. So this post is a month old, but I figure I’ll add my. I’m always happy to give my input on a wonderful program like Scrivener. I’m honored you came to me directly, even though I don’t feel I’m any sort of expert. I guess what I’m trying to say is, if you’re trying to construct a template, you have to take all these factors into consideration (at least in the case of poetry, as for lyrics, it might be a tad bit easier on your sore coding hands). While there are forms to follow, there is also poetry that is ALL OVER the page, and some that genuinely looks like fiction (I’m of such a vein for my current manuscript).
