I'm a 1,000 words into the new novel. I need to get off my ass and get those first query letters out, though.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

I working toward the first one. I've redone the letter a couple of times.
I've discovered Dropbox, well I've known about it for a long time but I finally made an account to sync my password keychain, and now I wonder why the hell I never used this before. I install it on multiple computers and use the folder to store my projects and bam, instant syncing and online backup. It's brilliant.

www.dropbox.com
You get 2GB of storage for free and the software creates a folder on your computer you use like any other folder on your computer only it instantly syncs to dropbox's servers. If you install it on a second computer then that folder syncs instantly to the server and thus, your two computers are now synced together. Totally transparent.
Working with .doc files, that meager free 2GB is a ton of space.

I'm looking for a couple of readers interested in reading a mid-length short story or two. Genre is speculative fiction to scifi-ish. Profile addy should be good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sox, can I play? Profile addy is good.
I've decided to get back into writing fiction. I 'm currently working on a sci-fi story about some hyper-intelligent aliens who ignore us humans because they don't consider us intelligent.
Also, what word processors do folks use for creative writing? Currently I'm using Open Office, but I'm wondering if Word would be better. (I'm using Macs.) Does Word (or other word processors) have the ability to show you all the edits you've made? Like, if I make some deletions and then later want to see what I deleted, is that still available somehow?
