NaNoWriMo 2009 Day 8

[ladyseishou]

Day 8 - 22 days remaining

Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else.

~ Gloria Steinem



During NaNoWriMo, what else is there?

Today's quotation was submitted by Nano Writer mbeancntr - thanks!

Sometimes finding time to write can be difficult, we have so many things in our lives: family, school, friends, work, that it feels like writing a 50,000 word story in four weeks is an impossible thing to do. But You Can Do It! Today's word count to beat is 13,333! How's everyone doing? You can do it! Just keep writing!

I've never actually used that, but I keep picking up downloadable spreadsheets that do much the same thing. It's always awesome to know how much more (or less) than the average I have to write each day.

I prefer to use the one on Nano, because I make it a point NOT to download any software productivity (aka like OpenOffice and MSOffice on my comp). :P

I don't want to work on work at home, so I use GDocs, Q10 and other sites instead. XD

[dragonscrawl]

The only computer I use to write is also the one I use for school, where they've forced software productivity stuff on me for the sake of classes. I've put these to my own writing-related uses, like when I've used Access to help me keep track of possible story prompts to work from.

I might need to play around in GDocs when it's not NaNo season. Although I had to make use of it once for homework, I haven't done much more than "Oh hey, I'm sharing a file with myself".

[geminianeyes]

Haha, I started using GDocs for a simple reason: "Oooo I can access my documents everywhere now!"

I don't really use the sharing function, as you can see. XD

[dragonscrawl]

I only used the sharing function because it was relevant to one of my classes (we were learning about tools for collaboration at the time). GDocs really needs to be my backup locale, though...

[geminianeyes]

There's also writer.zoho.com which is a bit more stable than GDocs (could be a connection prob on my side though) and it has more formatting options. :3

Also...

*stares at Ed* :D

[dragonscrawl]

Ed's my default "I like writing and reading" icon, useful when a NaNo specific icon does not apply. He's so helpful and handy to have around that way.

Oh hey there, you have a Trek-related icon that amuses me.

I believe you might be interested in this post then: http://community.livejournal.com/acid_graphics/16684.html

[dragonscrawl]

...Yes, yes I am interested in that post.

:D My icon says it all.
