Miss me?

Did you miss me?

Probably not, judging by the amount of comments I get.  LOL


I must apologize for not being on here as much as I should, I've been fuck-arse busy with work, my own mini school here in Japan and editing Death World. Not going as fast as I'd like. Also, I'm searching for an online place to write instead of using my trusted scrivener as I now write in two or three locations with my Mac (11 years old), desktop (at home) and the work laptop (a low-end Dell--cheap bastards. It died on the second day, and I only used it for a few hours). The Quill looks great but no prices have yet been supplied.

Some monthly subscription fees are sky-high.
Some of the free ones are dodgy i.e. the blog hasn't been updated in a few years. I can't trust that my work would be safe there.

I know use Goggle Docs, or ZOHO docs, or even, Readsy.
And I've used all of them, and Word, also Word Online (not 365).
ZOHO was the best. Reminded me a little of Pages.

So, yes, I could use them. But I like new things, or new ways of doing things.
I have an idea of where to start for Death World 2.
 
Holy shit, that sentence brought a flood of ideas. I just wrote down the best on a sticky note and placed it under the desktop notepad's plastic sheet.

Best investment ever.

UPDATE: I have been using The Quill for a few months now and it saves well and is distraction free writing. It's great.

What's in a name?

 I had no idea that each full moon had a name.  Tonight is the November full moon AKA Beaver moon. I will be hanging my jewelry (dangling from the windowsill) to recharge them. I do this monthly. I did miss last month as it was rainy. No moon power.  Here are the names for those interested.  I've heard a few of them before: Traditional Full Moon Names Wolf Moon – January Snow Moon – February Worm Moon – March Pink Moon – April Flower Moon – May Strawberry Moon – June Buck Moon – July Sturgeon Moon – August Harvest Moon – September or October Full Corn Moon (Harvest) – September Hunter's Moon (Harvest) – October Beaver Moon – November Cold Moon – December A week back, I took a photo showing a ring around the moon. It is meant to be good luck to see that (according to Japan) and for my birthday next month, I7m allowed to get a new MacBook Pro 13 inch! It works! I'll repost that image here for those who didn't see it in the original post.  I took this photo with Go...

Writing Software

They say writers need them or should use them. I've been using various forms of writing software since 2007. Before that I used MS Word. Wrote three novels and sold 50 short stories with just the word processor.  Times change. Now I use Scrivener and pretty much nothing else. Tho, I am old version. My old MacAir can't handle more then 2 GB memory. Can't upgrade. Stingy Apple. I still use it for writing. But, I am growing tired of old version of Scrivener and I have been looking around for other stuff.  (Image: Pexels.com Free stock images) I'll post my fav, a little later. First let's look at some software.  Technology changes at a fast pace--or is the updates at a fast pace? Either way, I've found some cool new ways to write, especially on the go.  The software I'll list is stuff I have used or purchased. No links. Sorry. If interested just highlight the software and right click search for... Works a charm. I could be like those Internet blogs that have aff...
