A world of pure imagination...
Talking while typing can be a little harder than other things, just because it's two completely different trains of thought. Although, I suppose if you already have what you're typing in front of you, then it wouldn't actually require *thinking* about it....

I used just compile everything in Microsoft Word and notebooks, but now I have Storyist for my stories and it's a pretty cool software.

Para, how goes the querying? And ooh, what is this dystopian? Does it have a plot?

Querying is much like job-hunting. Weeks of silence broken by occasional fits of sobbing. :rolleyes:

Just rewriting a book I wrote a million years ago. It has a pleasingly high ratio of explosions to pages. I'm easily bored and require frequent action scenes. :tongue

Timelines are good. Maybe I'll try it one day. I'll still use iTunes for playlists, though.

I also love LSB for the statistics (or whatever it's called, I don't remember exactly, it's been a while since I last used it) where you put your end goal date and it'll tell you how many words left you have to write/day to finish on time.

Yeah...I think I will start using it again lol. I loved that part of it lol

I might see if I can figure out how to use my recorder and maybe speak into it, but I DON'T LIKE HEARING MY VOICE.

I HATE overprotective parents.

My parents are going out tonight and a friend was going to come over, but her parents 'aren't comfortable without an adult'. There is a security guard who works for our street. My parents are five minutes away. Not very late. And we're sixteen! I mean, we're beyond old enough to babysit, let alone stay home with no parents. It's bizarre.

Have you ever came up with a weird random idea and thought to yourself, 'That would never work.' I just had this oddly random idea of teen assassins with accelerated healing abilities killing enemies in a war set in the 1940s with heavy amounts of dieselpunk.

Tally - Me too. My mom is super overprotective and I'm seventeen. I'll be eighteen in five months, but she doesn't really let me do anything. I don't see what the problem is though, if your parents aren't even that far away.

MA - It will work if you make it work. Plus, I love that idea and I wouldn't be upset if you decided to write it. Besides somebody probably told Joss Whedon that Space Cowboys who speak Mandarin wouldn't work and...it did. :D

But that's Joss Whedon! Joss FREAKING Whedon. If he wants to work, he makes it work, LOL. And I love Firefly.
