Ode to the Scrivener Tutorial

Oh Scrivener Tutorial, you are so sexy...  you create a little world that's just for the two of us to explore.  My tutorial is my own and no one else's; I save it on my hard drive, and I can change it whenever I want.  You make me click on links, then open up photos just to see that I can, and then you make me come back again--you little jokester.  You tease me through an entire landscape of writing tools, all created for my ease. 

You're so charming.

Oh Scrivener, you have so many boxes.  You're editing box is so... big.  And your synopsis box is so cute and small, with its little lines just like an index card.  I think you have a box for every need I have.  I'm starting to get sweaty.

And the binder is just so organized, I'm a click away from any chapter I want, even scenes and character sheets and I can navigate between them all in five different ways with two separate sets up buttons and command functions and the pull down menu and--

Wait.

I'm grabbing a glass of wine, Scrivener Tutorial.  I'm pouring us a drink.  You and I are going to slow down and take this real slow.  We're going to savor the experience of getting to know each other.  Because I'm going to finish my book on you.  Ohhhh, yeah.
