I'll check out iDailyDiary, thanks! I still haven't found a good replacement for MacJournal. Will also download a copy of Body Mortgage!
ReplyDeleteI downloaded the book. It'll be interesting to see if it does spike interest in the author's work. Some say it will, some say it won't....
ReplyDeleteOh, I struggle with just the usual programs (and remembering to save). But thanks for the links in case I get ambitious.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are kinda back, PBW.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping you are too busy writing and enjoying life to post!

Extremely useful, thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteSheila, this is irrelevant to this post, I apologize, but when my hubby showed me this on snopes.com, my thoughts went immediately to you.
ReplyDeleteThe inspiration for your most hated cover has been discovered in the Gulf of Mexico:

And I must say there have been no similar falters with the wonderful Darkyn covers.
I was just wondering...are you coming back? I miss your blog.
ReplyDelete*hugs* Are you okay???
ReplyDeleteSomething odd is happening, and I hope I'm not the 387th person to mention it. Has PBW really not posted since October 9th? And are there really no comments on that last post?
ReplyDeleteI'm lost. I need my PBW! :)
Must...resist...temptation...to download s/w and procrastinate....
ReplyDeleteI was just popping in to say hello and see how you are doing and realized it's been a very long time since you posted.
ReplyDeleteLife happens, I know, and I hope your absense means that everything is going well, rather than the opposite. Warm best wishes to you and yours - and Happy Halloween.
Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm dieting here. If you've ever not eaten something you've been craving, only to discover you've eaten three or four other things in an attempt to satisfy your hunger, and are still wanting the first food, you'll understand why I've found myself clicking on blogs I don't like anymore....
ReplyDeleteCome back soon, and Happy Halloween!

Becoming quite concerned....
ReplyDeleteJust checking in to see if everything is all right. It's been three weeks since your last post.
ReplyDeleteSo it's been said that you're absent because of major deadlines and business, but I thought that you might want to know - if you didn't already - that Joely has inspired some of us to write rather silly poetry trying to entice you to come back... :)
ReplyDeleteMy two are up here and here.
I guess your absence means you're having some problems. I hope things work out okay.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links. I'll have to check some of these out.
ReplyDeleteCome out, come out, wherever you are? We miss you and we're concerned about you, as the dozens of comments doubtless awaiting moderation prove.
ReplyDeleteSelah
Where are you?
