Now you're making me wonder if I should try Scrivener! I also love Harney & Sons, their Victorian London Fog is a must for my homemade tea lattes.

Okay, writing that down :) I wonder if you could do a Scrivener trial?

You can try for 30 days! Just hesitant to add another tool to my writing stack—I already use Notion for freelance work, so most of my scenes start there.

Totally get that! Will have to check Notion out too!

What a great list! Thank you for sharing this. There are a lot of new-to-me resources that I'll check out.

As for content that I'd like to see more of, I chose author daily life snapshots, and I guess what I mean by that is journal-type entries that aren't prescriptive or instructive. I guess maybe it's a combination of daily life snapshots and personal essays? I am always interested in what people are thinking and observing as they go about their usual routines. :-)

Quite belated but extremely grateful for this list!! I’ve been saving it to dive into when I had a chunk of solid time and I’ll be saving it to reference many times to come, I’m sure! I hoping to revitalize my writing this fall, after months “off”, and this list is inspiring and motivating me. I think I may treat myself with a purchase or two of these books, etc :)
