SWEET! I made it to day five!
Annnnnd I'm blank.
Oh well... I can do this.
I have jury duty on Tuesday. I have mixed feeling about it, though. I actually enjoy serving o a jury, I've only served on one misdemeanor case, but I know it's vital. The downside is, I have to leave the house at 6:30 in the morning to get there by 8:00. Catch the Red Line, then a bus. But, I so hope that I get selected. I enjoyed the one I served on immensely.
...mental note, Mark. CHECK ON HOW TO DISABLE THE TOUCH-PAD...
It is cold outside. I am already used to having it in the 60s when I get up, but yesterday and today, it's been in the low 50s. I like hot weather.
Ugh! I hate when I accidentally hit the touch-pad and the cursor winds up somewhere else on the page.
My wrist isn't hurting much, although it's bee eight minutes. That's a good thing. Maybe moving the laptop a little closer helped.
My cat, Bug, got out yesterday, he came back last night. When he gets back after getting out, he gets quite needy, It's almost like he's glued to me. He was quite upset when I had to move him so I could start writing. How many of you have pets, and do they try to hamper your writing any? But, he's my buddy.
Well, the fifteen minutes is up, and I will return at noon.
Okay, I have returned.
So I had a thought about a story, between sessions but completely forgot what it was.
As I always say, Gotta love ADHD.
Anyway... I could not find a way to disable my touchpad. That sucks, and the formatting evidently didn't stick, except for the double-spacing part. I miss Word.
I'm wanting to get a few books, about writing, and some software, namely Word, but I don't have the money.
It's not cold anymore! But I still need to wear my hoodie to use as a sun block. I wonder what the SPF is on a black hoodie...
OH! Maybe the indent DID work, but their definition of .5” is vastly different than mine. It seems to be indenting one character space, as opposed to the .5” I specified. I will look into that later, however, as I need to be using this time writing.
My wrist didn't hurt as much by the end of the first session, but so soon into the second, it starts bothering me.
I need to research how much Word will cost. Maybe I can talk someone into getting it for me for my birthday, except I need it now, and my birthday isn't until August.
What is your favorite word processor? Do you use OpenOffice, as I am now, Word, Scrivner, which I can't seem to get the hang of, or something else?
I think I'm going to stop using the double-space for these exercises. It doesn't look right.
Can any of you recommend a decent, yet free, online writing course? I can't seem to find any. I KNOW there are some out there, I just haven't been able to find many, and the ones I do find seem too unstructured.
Oh well... That's all for today.
Until tomorrow!
I have eight cats and several of them are shameless at blocking my view on either computer (my keyboards are on drawers beneath the desk which helps with that). However, I'm ruthless. "I'm working," I shout at Moonshine (the worst offender) and push him to the floor.
ReplyDeleteIt should be noted that, though the hoodie undoubtedly provides your skin protection, it is the most absorptive of all colors with white as the most reflective.
I adore Word Perfect and wrote most of my body of work on that program for years and years because I hate several of the issues with MS Word. However, most places only accept MS Word and there are some real issues converting WP to Word so I mostly work in Word now.
I love the control with WP, but I'm apparently in the minority.

ReplyDeleteI know, but I only have two. Black anf Dark Olive. *LOL*
