@tonyhenandez790 I often swear while I'm writing...

[Richard Saar @RichSaarWriter]

I use Word and Google docs for work and I find them... too much for creative writing I use like 1% of their capacity.
I wrote my last WIP on Dabble Writer, nice and simple, web- based, nice set-up for chapters and sections, plus world building notes... best part is focus mode where all the tools fade out when you're writing, you see just the words.

[Richard Saar @RichSaarWriter]

It's clear that I am terrible at posting on social media...
I mean who has time to post more that once every few weeks?

[Richard Saar @RichSaarWriter]

@SDDonovan I outline bits and pieces, key moments... I will admit I do stall if there isn't some idea of where it's going...
I try to have a fairly high level outline, but if a scene inspires me my outline will have some meat to it.

Some weeks I forget I even write... a week long conference -speeches, trade shows, mixers, gala dinners...
Back at home today and looking at my manuscript today is like... what's that?

What's this...? Plotting the second book in the series?
Did I create my own node-based plotting tool... yes.
Did I avoid revising book 1 this week... also yes.

Editing is hard - that is all.
Also - what dyslexic monkey wrote this first draft?

At least the Hotel had a cool indoor atrium to relax in after work... However, I did not bring my book so no revising done!

Very little revision being done, work is kicking my butt!
1200+ km last week, back out on the road again this week too...

@Jalal_C_Hockett Thanks... going have to figure out why my msg is not working ... down the X troubleshooting rabbit hole I go!

[Richard Saar @RichSaarWriter]

@Jalal_C_Hockett Always happy to help... send over a PDF link thanks, I don't read enough on my Kindle to justify the KU sub...

[Richard Saar @RichSaarWriter]

@RWeberWrites For some reason I always use "3 in and 3 out"... but that's just me.

[Richard Saar @RichSaarWriter]

Ohh.... my orange frames... serves as a warning, step out of line and you could be labelled a Disruptive Person - now associating with you means loss of points, even for your wife.
Would you work to get back on track, or fight the system.

Getting exiled to a prison island because you have the potential to be a murderer... my kind of dystopian story!

I like my green version... giving me toxic vibes...
Makes sense as The Scar is a miles wide toxic wasteland, a remnant of the Extinction Wars, that splits the Capitol in two; the workers and factories on one side and the elite in thier glass towers on the other.
