NaNo Writing through Scrivener and Aeon Timeline
Rather than update the NaNoWriMo sticky post with my current (messy) thoughts, I thought I’d share a visual look at my WIP, being written through NaNoWriMo with Scrivener for Windows and Aeon Timeline for Windows.

A-Z| Index Card Apps
The I post for #26Tech A-Z Challenge will preview some of my favourite organisation, ideas gathering, structuring or storyboarding apps – Index Card Apps.
9 Scrivener Alternatives
This is a supplementary post to the #26Tech Favourite Writing App post of today. In that post I profile Scrivener, one of the most popular all over writing and writing project management apps.
This post provides nine alternatives to Scrivener. All are great overall writing apps.

#52Tech | Week 3: Writing Challenge App (iOS and Android)
This is a catchup post for my year of #52tech – promising a post every week on writing or creative technology. This is week 3. We are now up-to-date with this weekly series for the year, so you should expect January’s fourth installment end of next week.
This time around it’s the Writing Challenge app and Writing Challenge for Kids app – the later obviously designed as a prompt app for kids – so to help me out I put my daughter onto the app – she’s tried it out on both her Android tablet and iPhone for me.

Story Skeleton card detail – and at last – a card stack, although I’m not 100% sure how I created it.
Story Skeleton – the tutorial project.
Story Skeleton – export options
This is a catchup post for my year of #52tech – promising a post every week on writing or creative technology. This is week 2.
This time around it’s the Story Skeleton app for iOS – which promises a story structure or mapping experience for iPhone or iPad users. But the reason I was particularly interested in this one was it’s export functionality to Scrivener.

The Writing of a First Draft – a Technology Image Gallery
This is the first of a month of round-up posts for 2012. In this post, I want to share how I went from pre-planning to a first rough draft and onwards, and the technology used in my WIP. As they say now, “There’s an app for that”. This is a predominantly image-based post, for Windows users who also happen to have an iPad.

Writing Prompt Apps
I’m a big tech-geek, so my iPad is continuously over full with apps, and many of them are used in my writing. The following is a quick review of some writing prompt apps which may be helpful to generate ideas or inspiration.Writer’s Tools – The Facebook Author App
The latest buzz in some writer’s circles is towards Facebook’s new Author App. Have you heard about it?
Writer’s Tools – SmartEdit
In certain countries if somebody calls you “a tool” it’s not a compliment. The Urban Dictionary suggests being “a bit of a tool” can be emphasised with the term “tool belt” standing for somebody who is a bit stupid, or a liability.
Aussies and kiwis tend to use a similar “What a dick head!” but that’s another story, and normally doesn’t go down well in particular parts of America where Richards don’t actually mind having their names abbreviated to Dick (In the U.K. you’d be hard-pressed to find an actual Dick).
Ah, but I’ve digressed before I’ve even started.
Anyway, in this intermittent when-I-feel -like -it series, I’ll be discussing some writing tools – and no, unlike many, I won’t be hyping up Scrivener. Not yet, anyway. My first is free, and an editing tool.
