So, this is it. The beginning of the latest NaNoWriMo Month... if that's not too redundant, like AIDS Syndrome... and I've been discovering an amazing amount of tools and readying my new hardware.
This is my new NEXUS 7, called PRIS, and its Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard (aka. Motoslave, if you will. Figure THAT reference out)! It is ridiculous. A very mobile system, light as a feather, and ready to rock. I have a stand on which Pris is sitting, and I also have a mouse from my (very old, very heavy) MacBookPro. This is my new laptop. Well, my Android Tablet notebook... thing.
Using the (free) WRITER App, which counts words (!) and links with Dropbox. This will allow me to walk to the local Place of Writing (Starbucks, Panera, or McDonald's), write a bit... well, a lot really... about 2K of words a day, and then send it to Dropbox. Dropbox would then allow the files to then be relayed to all my computers.
I'll be using the amazing word processor Scrivener. This word processor actually is more of a concept processor, an idea processor... it allows you to make an auto-backed-up series of snipets, chapters or sub-chapters, than can be manipulated on the screen, compiled for export or print out. And that only touches the surface of what this program can do... Basically, you can create a file, or binder, for a project and then write in that same binder. It will do auto calls to Google or Spotlight. Again, it is simply amazing.
If you want a NaNo version of Scrivener, or to view the other tools that sponsors have donated to the festivities, you can check out the Special Offers page.
Still have to workout which story I'm going to do? Maybe it will be the one with the Gods among us, or the Steampunk one.
Decisions, decisions...
