Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Dang, I need to get back to writing too. In my copious spare time. Sigh

I'm trying to get back to writing as well. I have two complete drafts waiting to be edited and another book outlined and 12,000 words written, but there have been so many things getting in the way. Motivation isn't a problem, but time sure is.

-t, my suggestion is to work on whichever project is the one you feel the most and/or think about the most.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

While I'm not writing origfic as that's not where my passions lie, I do write a lot with minimal time. I've got a set minimum of 100 words a day. Even if you only were able to write that amount (and I have 100 word days and I have 1000 word days and everything between and sometimes above), that's a novella a year. Last night's 100 words were jammed into the 17 minutes I had before going and checking in on the kid. (There was a timer involved.)

Scrivener is the bomb for keeping me going and organizing things. I think it's upped my productivity by a million at this point.

PM, seriously? That's a game changer

Because books.

Part of me wants to try Scrivener and part of me worries I would just wind up playing with the bells and whistles and not actually writing.

There aren't really a lot of bells and whistles. It's like having a wiki and a word processor in one package. It makes me want to write my own software for writing, but, you know, that whole time thing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hm, I thought I had Scrivener but apparently not. Maybe I just have the OSX version. I do have an app called Bear that I haven't hardly used yet.

If you have the Mac version, I think they give a discount for the Windows version. Also, 30 day trial.

100 words, yep. It makes me stop focusing on them being perfect, too.

Always Anti-fascist!

as much as I love when other writers put great clues in their stories, I hate thinking of them for mine.
