And the winner is...

So, some people know I run a tiny English school here in Japan. It's not a professional school yet and only runs a few days a week. Both my wife and I teach. If the kids come, they donate a nominal fee, if they don't, well, no fee. 

We ran a draw for one of the kids to win a lucky dried squid cracker. All entered, and I drew the winner this evening. 




Congrats Rio! 

A nominal fee is a payment or purchase price like any other fee. However, the use of the word "nominal" implies that the fee is small in comparison to the true value of what you can purchase with it.

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...
