What is The Tormented Writers Society About?
Welcome to The Tormented Writers Society, where we embrace the existential dread of that blinking cursor and transform it into something marginally less terrifying. Are you haunted by unfinished manuscripts? Do you spend more time reorganizing your desk than actually writing? Has your coffee consumption reached levels that concern medical professionals? Congratulations—you're one of us. We're (I'm) not here to fix your tormented soul (that's what therapy is for). Instead, we're (I'm) here to help with the practical demons that plague the modern writer: - Mastering Scrivener without sacrificing your firstborn to the software gods - Automating your digital life with Make and Airtable, because your creative energy shouldn't be wasted on mundane tasks - Creating scroll-stopping social media images without selling your artistic integrity to the algorithm (stop buying templates and hiring VAs because you'll get everything you need in the paid group) - Building and managing databases that actually make sense (unlike your plot timelines) - Crafting websites that won't make web designers weep into their mechanical keyboards with Elementor - Implementing cost-cutting strategies that don't involve living on instant noodles - Taming the social media beast without selling your literary soul - Managing your writing business without an MBA (or a mental breakdown) - Discovering productivity hacks that work even during mercury retrograde - Learning technical shortcuts that would make your luddite ancestors proud Join us, and learn from fellow writers who have stared into the abyss of a blank page and lived to tell the tale. We'll teach you to channel your torment into something more productive than stress-eating while staring at your laptop. Need writing accountability? All the members who join can help you with that. We're stronger together as a collective. The Tormented Writers Society: Because misery loves company, but company with practical technical skills is even better.

Free Scene Structure Template
Fellow architects of agony, Your resident template tormentor here with a gift for your writing artillery. Yes, you read that right—a FREE Scrivener template that might actually make your scenes do what you want them to do. (I know, I'm shocked at my own generosity too.) I've crafted a Scene Structure Template for Scrivener that breaks down the anatomy of a scene like a literary coroner. Perfect for those moments when your scene feels as dead as your protagonist's hopes and dreams. What's inside this little box of narrative necessity: • Rising Action and Complications (because aimless wandering is for your characters, not your plot) • Scene Climax (for when "everything goes wrong" needs structure) • Scene Analysis (from bad to worse to "oh no, why did I do this to them") • Pacing (because suffering should have a flow to it) • Revision Checklist (so your story flows like tears on a manuscript) This template is available to ALL members of our tortured community. Yes, even you lurkers who haven't committed to The Society yet. Consider it a gateway drug to better writing. Download it now in the "Free Resources" section of our Skool hub. And if you find yourself wanting more tools for creative torment... well, The Society's doors are always open for those ready to embrace the darkness fully. *Because even free torture should be properly organized.* Visit The Classroom to access the template. Remember: Structure is just organized chaos in disguise.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ --- Ready to elevate your creative torment? The Society's vault holds our complete collection of Scrivener templates, including: • The "Beautiful Disaster" Character Arc Template • "Descent into Madness" Plot Framework • "Organized Chaos" Series Bible • "Method to Madness" Research Tracker • And many more instruments of literary destruction Plus, you'll get access to our full library of writing resources, tutorials, and prompts designed to make your characters question their existence (and possibly make you question yours).

After some issues that came up with this platform (technical access preferences and the whole tier system) I have decided that we are moving over to Substack! thetormentedwriterssociety.substack.com That's where the writers are, anyway!

Why Scrivener Makes Financial Sense
🖤 Fellow Tormented Writers, let's talk about why Scrivener isn't just another subscription haunting your bank account. In a world where software vampires feast monthly on your writing income, Scrivener stands alone like a beautiful dark oasis: One payment. Done. Forever. No more: - Monthly subscriptions draining your coffee budget - Annual fees lurking in your bank statements - Unexpected price increases appearing like ghosts - "Premium feature" upsells stalking your inbox - Being married to an online software that can jack up rates any time it needs more money Just a one-time payment of around $50 (less when it's on sale), and you own this beautiful nightmare of organizational possibilities for life. Every update, every new version in your current generation (Scrivener 3)? Included. No, I don’t work for Scrivener. I just believe it’s superior software. Think about it: While other writers are paying $10-20 monthly for writing software, you could own Scrivener for the equivalent of a few months of their subscription costs. That's less than your monthly therapy bills for dealing with writer's block. Sure, Scrivener has a learning curve that might make you question your life choices, but at least it won't keep charging you while you figure it out. ------------------- 🖤 Ready to embrace the full darkness?
