I am not dead! I’m just really lazy. #amwriting

I hate doing research!!! Okay, honestly, I had a good time this time 🙂 Especially when it included watching a bunch of soap operas and flipping through magazines. That is truly the kind of research that I enjoy. I’m so lazy.

My little sideline, “Maple Leaf,” is coming along very nicely and I’m tentatively hopeful that people will like it.

It’s not usually my thing and I think most people would be kind of surprised that I’m actually that “sweet and sensitive” because I totally come across as HARDCORE! Okay, not that hardcore, but a bit hardcore. Or at least like an emotionless robot.

OMG, just saw this Quicken Loan commercial. “Will you marry me?” The girl has a shocked, maybe happy expression, then she lowers her hand from covering her mouth and it’s more a “Oh crap, what now” expression. “I’m sorry, no. I think we should see other people. Especially your best friend.” Made me laugh, even though it was kind of stupid. Still, I bet in a couple of years he’ll be grateful that at least she was honest about it and didn’t wait to tell him until after they were married or even after he blew a ton of money on a gigantic wedding.

What I’m doing and NOT doing now

This month has been one in which I have not wanted to do much at all, which is ridiculous since I’m supposed to be participating in NaNoWriMo. Still, I have been trying my best, and that is all a person can ever do.

Scrivener for Windows

I am currently using the Scrivener for Windows beta. There’s still a few bugs to it, but I’m pretty sure it’s my new love. Used in conjunction with LibreOffice, it has become my new “thing.”

I use the note cards on the cork board to kind of outline my story as I write. I can also give myself a word target to reach during each session, and I can reset the target at any time, which is nice.

I’ve signed up for NanoWriMo this year and I really think Scrivener will help me and others. So if you’ve signed up, or even if you just like to write, hold onto the soon-to-be realized dream that Literature & Latte will have Scrivener for Windows up and available for purchase soon at the very reasonable price of $40. Nice.

Currently loaded into Scrivener:
“Allies & Enemies,” the sequel to “Heroes & Villains”
“The Panic Pure”
“Topping”
“Bastian”
