clarentineWow, it's been a while since I last posted. Three weeks without a home computer can certain carry part of the blame for that, and the rest probably goes to the plot conundrum that ate my head and the story I was working on, too.
Good news: I found a new icon. Ain't he cool? *g*
Better news: I have a new computer. It's a MacBook, and it's pretty spiffy. Right now I'm test-driving Office for Mac, but I think it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that I'm going to be buying that software; I'll probably be staying in the business workforce for at least the near future, so it's a good idea to keep up with the software used there. Also, I like Word 2004. The places it's different, it's not so different. The writer in me is excited that all I have to do to get a word count is highlight the text I want to count; the number displays at the bottom of the screen. *g* (And, yeah, not SMF word count, but it'll do for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
novel_in_90 purposes.)
Best news: With the help of some good and clever friends, I've got some idea how to bridge the plot problem and am moving forward again. Three days meeting quota on the word count is a grand thing. Of course, at the end of the week I'm going away yet again, and will not even try to be writing during that time, as this trip is to see and spend time with my packmates and that I cannot count as anything but time well spent. The writing will recommence upon my return.
