Write Every Day: Day 2

[the_siobhan]

I'm working overtime tonight so I'm not sure how much work I'll get done today. Doesn't help that my office is freezing right now. (It snowed last night and it's about 2 C outside right now. By Friday it's supposed to go back up to almost 20 C. Go home November, you're drunk.)

I do all my actual writing in Scrivener. (Which I love.) I started doing my research notes in there as well, but I found the flipping back and forth between notes and story was mucking up my concentration, so now I have the story open on my laptop while I take notes on loose-leaf paper that I can move around and add to at will. And then I had a couple of those "ooo, I know what I can do with that scene" moments when I was doing something else that I scribbled down on coloured post-its and stuck to my paper notes.

By the time I'm done this project I fully expect it to look like this:



So today's question is how you do your actual writing? Do you write long hand, do you use word, or some other dedicated app? Do you use dictation software? (I've always wanted to try dictation, especially now that I have a private workspace.)

Checking in for day 2.

Today was only an alibi 100 words, which isn't good for Nanowrimo, but I managed my time poorly so it's all on me. It also doesn't help that I recently had some health issues and I'm currently hopped-up on antibiotics and feeling generally woozy. I will do better tomorrow!

Oh no! Feel better!

[falkner]

Thank you!

100 words is entirely respectable when you're not feeling well.

I hope you feel better today. Be gentle with yourself.

Thanks, I'm trying to not get angry at myself, but I really wish my energy would come back already!
