Sorry for the delayed response I took a bit of a holiday from this to get back to my real life, the one where the husband and the kids need stuff from me, like birthday parties and cheesecakes and drop offs and pick ups. Finally back to my writing space to catch up. Your blog is so amazingly professional looking. I need to spruce mine up a bit. I am still quite the novice with it.Kathryn Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755466843555856661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331874526462840096.post-23011477117144165052014-05-03T12:33:21.079-07:002014-05-03T12:33:21.079-07:00Glad I found this.

Will have to try yWriter - and if I use, will follow your lead and donate. It's only fair. :-) <br />Came here via A to Z BTW - I'll be trying to go thru the list during the summer and visit everyone eventually!<br />Also, I've joined a "My Writing Process" blog tour. You answer 4 questions about your writing, then post the bio/pic/blog link/book purchase link of 3-4 other writers. then the following Monday each person does the same. I'd love to include you if you'd like - contact form on my blog.<br />Congrats on finishing the A to Z! :-)Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831231531918915804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331874526462840096.post-64402283642883344032014-05-03T02:48:55.871-07:002014-05-03T02:48:55.871-07:00Having already enjoyed some of your stories, can&#...Having already enjoyed some of your stories, can't believe I've only just discovered your AtoZ challenge posts! Anyhow, a very informative post you've written here; as I'm still getting to grips with longer writing projects, posts like this are an immense help.

I hope you like the program. I have added your blog to my favorites list. After A to Z is over I start following people who still keep up their blog. There were so many people last year who fell off the face of the earth in May never to be heard from again.Kathryn Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755466843555856661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331874526462840096.post-6928573014673944082014-04-29T13:36:00.672-07:002014-04-29T13:36:00.672-07:00Hmmm, I am going to check this out.

So, if they are Mac compatible, this may be a good option for me. Thanks so much!!

I will confess that I downloaded Scivner last night and am going to give that a try as well.<br /><br />What I appreciate most about ywriter is that it is all in one document. But you have to stick with what works best for you and your creative process. Don't mess with the mojo. :)Kathryn Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755466843555856661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331874526462840096.post-52318924450618407492014-04-29T08:41:53.285-07:002014-04-29T08:41:53.285-07:00i will have to check this out - i think word is fi...i will have to check this out - i think word is fine (and i dont like trying new things) but you make it sound worth the try!<br />thanks! happy y day!Tara Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587802105993889515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331874526462840096.post-10045330033724889102014-04-29T07:50:06.166-07:002014-04-29T07:50:06.166-07:00Nice.

In fact, I've discovered I pretty much have to write chronologically--because otherwise I don't know which details I'm leaving out. I have a hard time using rigid outlines (they kill my mojo), so I've mostly stuck with a Word/search engine/handwritten notes conglomerate. Maybe I'll have to try yWriter out. =) <br /><br /><a href="http://crystalcollier.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">True Heroes from A to Z</a>Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.com
