Dashboarding

Right, it’s been a while… how does this work again? Right. Anyway.
I’ve been following Mark Bernstein’s posts on building a dashboard in Tinderbox and enjoying them… and puzzling out how to implement them, in a lot of cases.
One thing I wanted to do, once I figured out how the example he gave in the post [...]

Final Days SALE SALE SALE!

Writer.app has been heavily discounted now for all you NaNoWriMoers stuck at thirty, twenty, or ten thousand words with only days remaining and your eyes bleeding from surfing the web, staring into space, brushing your teeth, or doing virtually anything but writing!
You can now get this amazing application for just NOTHING! Nothing at all! It’s [...]

Writer.app One dot Four dot THREE

Tinkering in Writer.app last night, I had a couple of usability niggles that kept digging and digging at me. So, of course, I had to tinker with the app. And Acorn. The result was this:

A set of new icons for the toolbar that look startlingly better on Leopard, and a new delete [...]

Turns Out I AM a Baby…

Turns out I am a baby, I guess:

Had to take that “I’m not a baby, for the love of Pete, please let me switch between apps” option off because I was switching between apps far too much. While I don’t think I’m quite doing NaNoWriMo, I managed to get in a good session of NaChildrensBookWriMo [...]

The Bell’s Tolling for You, I Think

80/1001
[From Matthew Michael Hanlon | Red Room Writer Profile | Red Room]

Look, kids, that’s where it is. I’m number 80 out of 1001. Has an okay ring to it… but wouldn’t it sound so much nicer in the top 50? Top 10?
We don’t have much time, but if you love me, if you really, really [...]

Writers’ Rooms

Writers’ rooms besides the RedRoom, of course.
I wrote a little something over at the RedRoom in the hopes of boosting myself into the top 50 or so… about writers’ rooms.

I don’t look like a young Truman Capote | Red Room

At the moment, I’m 91 out of 912 on RedRoom.com. Not too shabby. The latest little thing that’s pushed me further down in the 90s was probably the little post I had earlier today about author photos, and I’ve dumped a few author photos L’s taken over the years up there.

Where are your author photo [...]

A Short Story Word Cloud

I’m addicted!

This is from the short story “A Short Story” (I’m fantastically lazy sometimes)… which I’m nearly certain I’ll be posting on RedRoom.com really soon.
Again, cloud by Wordle.

“Destiny Calling” and Wordle…

Caught this fun little tag cloud service the other day… and created one for “Destiny Calling,” the story I recently posted to the RedRoom.com:
