Hi Margaret,

Software looks interesting. I’ll try it in a few weeks.

Thanks

Erm… now I feel bad. 🙁 Sorry about that, Holly.
I’m sure you’ve figured out what works best after all the effort you’ve put into those videos. I just assumed that was the case because of the pacing and intonation. But your explanation works – guess they haven’t cracked the computer voices yet, after all. Shame! But keep up the good work.

Congratulations, Holly! I’ve just read through all the posts from discovering you had the deadline through to the completion of the short story. Nothing short of amazing!! Just goes to show, where there’s a will (and a clearly defined process to follow) there’s a way!

Thanks :). I made my 10 stories and happen to really like the last two :D.

John, Liquid Story Binder has been touted as the PC equivalent to Scrivener. It sounds very similar, but having never used Scrivener and just played around in LSB, I can’t say for sure.

You are an inspiration… so glad I found your website way-back-when.

Thanks,

Hi Holly,

Little off topic. You’ve commented on Scrivener software. Unfortunately, I don’t live in the Mac universe, so its not available to me. Looking through some old posts you once recommended WriteitNow software, which is PC compatible. How does that stack up against Scrivener? Still recommend it for PC users?

You know, Holly, I think you offered just the right inspiration at the right time. I was stalled on story…eight, I think…and seeing you bully your way through huge word counts made me commit to sit there and finish the darn thing. Went without breakfast, lived on a cup of chamomile tea, but I got that story done and am a third into the last (with another one in between). I think the three come close to your word count on the one :p, but I really appreciate the example you set.

Where’d my comment go? I was hoping for an answer…

Blown away. Amazing to watch how you implement the techniques you teach in the How To Think Sideways course. Especially when I consider how long I need for the initial development from the Sentence to the scenes each with a Sentence Lite. Nice to read about the muse bombs, too. Still have no idea how to utilise that lesson. Yet. : )

Great blog, Holly.

I’m still working at developing the writing/working habit so I think I’ll keep going for the weekend. It’s good to see where I’m heading. Thanks for the example.

Hey Holly, which voice files do you use to do the automatic story reading on your Writer Crash Test videos? It sounds a tiny bit better than those Microsoft natural computer voices and it must save you a lot of time. I’d really like to use it for turning text into audio on my web site. Thanks!
