Writing progress

[marydell]

I downloaded a demo of Liquid Story Binder and installed it on a thumb drive so I can carry my novel notes and drafts around from one computer to another. Handy since the laptop is in Charlie's room and my main PC is downstairs in my library.

Now all I have to do is test the software, then write up my novel notes, then write the first draft and I'll be well on my way! Right after I find the perfect notebook, discover the perfect nook for sitting and composing, and vacuum the cat.

Doesn't it get the stories wet?

[marydell.livejournal.com]

No, a good binder (cornstarch, ferinstance, or flour) should make liquid stories less wet and more filling.

My usual way had been to let them simmer to reduce them, but that can lead to overcooking.

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I take your point. But that could lead to costiveness in the reader.

And interfere with the flow of the narrative...

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Seriously choke it.

Strained prose is best avoided...

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Oh, it could lead to all sorts of embarrassments.
