azuire: (on writing)

Good evening everyone (at least, it's evening where I am). Hope you're all well. Welcome to the first Tips and Tricks column! All future entries will be searchable by the "tips and tricks" tag. Members, if you have an idea for a TNT discussion, feel free to PM it to us!

Allons-y!

I like to scribble. My current notebook has several pages that go on in messy longhand. When I was younger, I had my own typewriter and used that to hammer out my work. But to share writing on the internet, I have to type it on my computer, and for this I use OpenOffice: it has very convenient folders. I sometimes use WordPad if I'm in a hurry. I don't like Microsoft Word because it continually eats my work (and corrects my spelling). Recently a friend of mine bought Liquid Story Binder, and I saw another explaining how to use yWriter. Both seem very satisfied with their respective writing programs. So, what do you think about these programs? Which one(s) do you use? And where do you prefer to write, in notebooks, or on keyboards?

Share away :-)

Yesterday I fleetingly thought "ARE WE THE SAME PERSON I WONDER?" and waited for you to say "I wonder if we're the same person" or something, but you didn't, so I firmly believe that we do not share parts of the brain. It was an effective test. XD

That's good, then. Good to know. Unless we secretly do, but the connection is temporarily down due to electrical storm. Or maybe we used to. I don't know. Food + TV instead of thinking, ahoy!

I have Ritz roasted vegetable crackers and various fun cheeses. This counts as a meal, right? (i clearly need to shop but i cannot like this)
