Word! #IWSG

I’m grateful to Alex Cavanaugh for starting the Insecure Writers Support Group.

This month’s co-hosts are so kind to take time out of their busy schedules. Thank you,  JS Pailly, Rebecca Douglass, Pat Garcia, Louise-Fundy Blue, and Natalie Aguirre

July 3 question – What are your favorite writing processing (e.g. Word, Scrivener, yWriter, Dabble), writing apps, software, and tools? Why do you recommend them? And which one is your all time favorite that you cannot live without and use daily or at least whenever you write?

I feel old (and old-school) reading this question, because I only know Microsoft Word. I’ve used Word for all of my writing, personal and professional, since starting psychology graduate school in 1994. I think Word is quite user-friendly.

While I’ve heard of Scrivener, I don’t know much about the other writing tools, so I look forward to learning more from fellow insecure peoples.

How’s your writing coming along? I haven’t made much progress on chapter three of my new novel, but I did send the first two chapters to my critique partner.

Meanwhile, my homeowner’s association has tantalized me with this gorgeous pool…

But they haven’t opened it yet!

I moved to a new-construction community in South Carolina last fall. Now that steamy summer weather has arrived, I sure would like to cool off in these serene waters. I hope my HOA gets their butts in gear and opens the amenities soon.

The middle section of the pool appears 25 yards long, and I plan to turn it into my personal lap pool, hehe. And a relaxing adult beverage at night will be nice.

#IWSG Just Keep Swimming

Join us here! Thanks to Alex Cavanaugh for leading us.

Many thanks to the co-hosts for the July 6 posting of the IWSG: J Lenni Dorner, Janet Alcorn, PJ Colando, Jenni Enzor, and Diane Burton!

Whoops, I almost forgot about IWSG again! Too many summer days at the swimming pool. Ahhhhh.

Instead of answering this month’s question, I have a question for you. Have you ever asked for your rights back from your publisher in order to self-publish past novels? I’m considering doing so (now that the contracts have elapsed), taking time to update, and I’m looking for tips and pros/cons.

See you at the pool!
