New tools

I'm deeply impressed with some new writing tools that my tech savvy husband brought to my attention. I've participated in NaNoWriMo twice now, and I loved the simple bar graph that measured daily progress toward the 50K word goal. Now I have something I can customize, like that, for my own projects. Woot. Plus the same open source programmer has made something a thousand times better than my old word processor, called FocusWriter. And there was much rejoicing.

Seriously, if you write go check out what this guy has done.

I'm feeling really excited and optimistic. I've got some great new tools and I'm working on a rough draft of a fun new project. Who knows, it might even be the start of regular blog posts. Now that would be something, wouldn't it?
