Writing with Tinderbox

Dear Tinderboxers,
It is with an immense pleasure that I announce on this forum the publication of my book in France, by Chronique sociale publishers.

During the endless writing and rewriting process, Tinderbox – and, not far behind, Scrivener – was an invaluable ally, allowing me to rethink my manuscript by visualizing it from entirely new perspectives. I’m not referring to Tinderbox’s integrated AI, as I don’t use it. I’m talking about the Attribute Browser, the Map view and, especially, the Outline view that I’ve used to break down chapters into smaller units that I simply couldn’t manage with Scrivener.

In my workflow, Tinderbox now occupies a central place, much more than before and I understand why: when you aspire to work with complexity, you must first grasp the simple. Descartes knew it. Tinderbox does all of that. If you read French, I talk about it in this blog post.

Chapeau!

Wonderful news!

This is fantastic. Would you be willing to walk us through your process during one of our weekly meeutps?

Like Michael, I would be interested to learn about the process you followed, with some examples of how your work evolved in the two apps, because material can be broken down into small pieces in Scrivener too.

Thank you for the invitation! It will be a pleasure. A Saturday in November, the 28th, if it suits you, would be perfect for me. And by then, I’ll be bilingual!

Michael, please excuse me, but as I’m organizing my speaking schedule, I realize I made a mistake with the date above: if it works for you, November 21st would be perfect. Would a very short presentation (10 minutes) and a concrete example be suitable for that date?
