My PC kept locking up. Still is. And I’m a geek. I’ve swapped out everything. Bought new memory. Took stuff off. Put stuff on. I mean I can BUILD a PC. But this one just defeated me.

Don’t laugh. I bought a mac. Yes, me, a life long PC user. A Mac Mini…and I’m in Love Honest. I also got the program Scrivener and it is the MOST amazing software for writing. I’ll do up a review of it later, but for now, trust me. I heart it too.

I’m also doing the trial of Curio for collages for my writing. Not so sure on that one yet. I think a scrapbooking program on a PC would work well for that too. (but my PC and I aren’t on speaking terms. It does still hold our work software and my accounting stuff…)

Anyway, my techie sons have just rolled their eyes at me But, after thinking about it, they think maybe it IS the way to go for a mom with a creative bent. They’ve used Macs at school, so they are conversant in them…even if they are die hard PC boys.

And there has been some learning curve.

I say: “Son of mine, what the heck is the ‘Apple menu’”
Son says …after a brief pause and eye roll “click on the apple on the top left” oops!!

Writing rewards. I can’t seem to help myself. I reward myself with new smilies. I did tons of writing ™ yesterday. So rewarded myself by hunting for new smilies.

some of my favorites:

crazy
blah blah blah (which is what I feel I’m writing sometimes)
and of course. WTF

I’m so mature

So I’ve been working on the main page of this site for the last few days. I really should have been a geek. Now, it’s not there yet, but it’s getting there. I decided to use Wordpress for the main site too…so I still need to figure out how to do another install of it using the same database. I modified the heck out of it so it won’t look bloggy. (I’m SURE that’s a word. Positive). Planning on having links to craft articles…but with a brief “review” of the article. I’m going to do an author blog spotlight to highlight some great writer blogs out there. And more I’ll post here when I get it uploaded, so stay tuned!
