(Granted, I use the boring colors probably more than the fun ones, but that's not really the point.)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415819230337026236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-45307589847570702672009-12-20T13:10:18.766-05:002009-12-20T13:10:18.766-05:00The only things I whish for, except gift certifica...The only things I whish for, except gift certificates for my favorite bookstore, are not fit for writing in a blog. After all, I have that wholsome rep ;)<br /><br />In all seriousness, though, I could really use a gym card or something. If I could whish for anything, it would be for a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class or perhaps a boxing gym. But... You know... It'll probably be a tie or something (that I never use, anyway.)<br /><br />Happy holidays!

It gives me hope to get some attention in blogging before I finish getting my degree in journalism. I would love it if you could check out my blog and from a writers perspective let me know what you think and even follow my blog if you like what you read. I look forward to hearing from you.<br /><br />playfulparadox.blogspot.comGabriel Barriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15412110225070844530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-34826710175204303212009-12-20T10:50:21.146-05:002009-12-20T10:50:21.146-05:00Thank you so much for this post!

Last year, after a quadruple bypass, I purchased MacSpeech Dictate so I wouldn't have to sit at the keyboard to write. Turned out my Mac's operating system was too old to run it.

Scrivener is the best writing program I've encountered. It's cheap and it's only available on the Mac.
