yWriter has long been my weapon of choice. It’s lightweight, straightforward and has a host of additional features. It’s one of the better author tools out there. But on Linux and running on Mono it’s buggy as hell.
So, for one story, i’ll be giving LyX a go. Read the rest of this entry »

Heh, it’s Ruthy’s old laptop. She got a new one for Christmas and I now have my mitts on her old Compaq Presario V5000. Which now has Ubuntu 10.10 powering it…

Expected target : 3334
Actual wordcount : 3151
Not brilliant but not bad considering. I left for work just before 8 this morning and got back tonight just before 10. Not conducive to writing but I’ve spent the last hour and a bit copying what I’ve managed to scribble down in a notepad today into yWriter.
More time, and writing, tomorrow.

I realised today that I get hits on my site to this post, and I realised I don’t use yWriter in the same way any more. Currently I’m running it within a Virtualbox session running an old copy of Windows XP I had kicking around, gathering dust.

I’ve been having a bit of a struggle recently.
With everything I’ve written so far, even the stuff I think is half reasonable, I always get the feeling that it’s a bit flat. There’s always that voice at the back of my head telling me that it could have been richer in the detail and, well, just better. And I just don’t know how. The added concern is that my writing is never going to be more than mediocre.

Working steadily away here, but time for a wee break…

Well, it’s been a busy week with work and home stuff. Loads to do in the office with the audited accounts coming in and at home I’ve been doing more prep for the arrival of baby. All very excited for that.

Ages ago I had installed yWriter on a previous Windows XP session and used it intermittently. Since my last reinstall of XP I never got around to installing it again.
