What am I writing on and with, you ask?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve been a Mac user for a couple of decades now, since a PC fan blew and lost a manuscript! I’ve never had any real problems with my Mac or MacBook Pro (other than the latter having a super-sensitive touchpad that drives me nuts sometimes). I do have a tendency to wear out the keyboards faster than a normal person. This is because I learned on a real typewriter and my fingers still think I’m using one so they press hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As to word processors, I switch between Microsoft Word and Scrivener. The former is for sending stories off to anthologies and publishers and the latter is for the actual dreaming-up process. Scrivener allows me to collect all my research, rough drafts, websites, etc. in one place. I can write directly in the program and then collate it and save as a Word or PDF file (or even a Kindle or Nook file if I want to). I love my Scrivener!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What sort of computer do you use? Any special word processing programs?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.jeshays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/blog_gift_lapdesk-1024x769.jpg\")
