Novel Writing Brainstorming Forum

I've used Scrivener for a few years–spread over 10+ years of writing–and I keep waiting for it to make me happy. I think it must be great and I just don't "get it." I have brain damage from a medical procedure done ages ago, and like to blame my inability to understand thing on that–but I don't really know if Scrivener will ever be useful to me. I mostly use it as a word processor that I can add pictures and notes to, but only for novel-writing.

I've watched tutorials, etc, and it seems to make sense when I watch them, but then, nope. I keep using it because it's paid for, but if anyone wants to suggest a tutorial that is actually useful–or suggest another app that's more intuitive–please feel free.

Ciao!
