Why not have individual chapters and a full manuscript? It must be a pain to type in document that large.
Never really thought about it, I just kept typing in the same document., lol.

Everything was fine until I tried to add Grammarly.

I wonder how that would work? :blob_hmm_two:

I've been thinking about reconsidering my workflow for a bit.

Yeah, Grammarly will try to review your entire document, so I can see it freezing. Well, it’s your method so I guess do what’s best for you, but you might be able to save some time and effort if you keep individual chapters and a master manuscript.

I do use it but I don't accept every suggestion it makes. I usually just check for the actual 'wrong' stuff to find typos or fucked-up grammar and leave the other parts for a later revision.

Sometimes having high self doubt means "is Grammarly wrong or am I really retarded?"

I usually trust that it's Grammarly that's wrong. And if not ... somebody less retarded will point it out to me one day :blob_sweat:

I use it as a final checking tool for my dyslexic ass. I can reread a work as many times as I want, but I will never find mistakes in there. So Grammarly is a god-send in that instance. I don't take all of its corrections, but holy crap does it catch some stuff I never could.
