exploring the writing world
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.

The I post for #26Tech A-Z Challenge will preview some of my favourite organisation, ideas gathering, structuring or storyboarding apps – Index Card Apps.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
