writing tips:

8 Years Ago


After all, you never know when a great idea will strike up or you may want to write that last line of your novel while standing in line at the grocery store! But let’s be clear, the notebook isn’t actually necessary. Most of us have smart phones and other mobile devices that are in many ways better than pens and paper notebooks.

A WRITERS WORK IS NEVER DONE... So Here is my Question to you all..Do you carry a notebook? A smart phone or other device? How do you keep track of all your ideas? Leave a comment

I may not always carry a book with me. But I will always have a pen in my pocket. So that whenever I get a thread I can jot it down on my palm.

Or on a napkin like J.K Rowling.

I always have my phone on me so whenever something pops in my head I put it in my memo.

I have a custom writing app I use. And on the off chance I am driving it has a built in recorder

I have a document on my computer for any inspiration I get. I also have this app called CreativeWriter. This app is also very good with writers block too (and it's free!!).

Re: writing tips:

8 Years Ago


        Many years ago I got in the habit of always keeping a tape recorder with me. Originally it was a way to record my dreams in the morning which I discovered to be much easier then having to turn on the light.    Light is the stealer of dreams.    The tape recorder I soon learned could be operated totally by feel.
        That was the beginning and since then I've gone from bulky cassette recorders to Walkman style recorders to micro-cassette recorders to the Sony IC/MP3 voice recorder I now always wear about my neck.   Considering that I've always been the type that does my best thinking while pacing or walking having a voice recorder has been one of my most important writing tool as it's something I can use while walking or hiking, driving or for the years before I retired a way to record my thoughts and ideas at work.
And that's my two-cents worth of opinions.
