I finally got some time and wrote 4000 words on my book. Over the years I have written the opening scene in a variety of ways, but this time I was finally able to get something substantial down on paper (or computer as the case may be). It still needs work. And I did find myself struggling a bit as I moved into later scenes. I picked up my book Make a Scene Make A Sceneby Jordan E. Rosenfeld to help me.

I recently came across some software that look like it could be helpful to me as well. Writer’s Blocks is a software allows you to have your notes on one side of the screen while tpying your document on the other sidie. I haven’t used the trial to test it out, but it looks like the kind of set up that would help me by keeping my ideas in front of me without having to move between tabs or pages. The only problem is that my new Asus Eee runs on Linux not XP (the XP version cost more…not so bad, but didn’t come in green. I really wanted green). I can add xp but I’d have to by xp or I can try to use a software called WineHQ that helps Linux run windows compatible programs. I think I’ll try the WineHQ first as its free. However, Linux is a lot like the old windows used to be when you’d have to go into DOS to do stuff. So I may want to move to XP anyway. I’ll want to try to install the Writer’s Blocks on my 4 gb SC disk so I can use it on my regular laptop as well.
