Ramp up Your Writing Speed – I really need that one…
Alex–I wouldn’t change your method…it works for you!
Elizabeth – Thanks as always for these great links. I think the Universe is trying to tell me something; I see several links that suggest alternatives to outlines when it comes to writing. Hmm…..maybe outlining isn’t the only way… ;-)
Margot–That’s what they say! Although I’ve been sticking with outlining lately. Although I sure do deviate from them.
Dang! Look at all the links! This is going to keep me busy for a while.
James–Enjoy! :)
I have just written a Danish post about the right kind of tools for writers and as I have linked to an article about different keyboards, I would like to have a link informing about the software you use as well (word-to-speech, isn’t that correct?)
Greetings from me who often sees your posts but is too buzy – or lazy – to comment ;)
Hi Dorte!
I use Dragon Naturally Speaking: http://www.nuance.com/dragon/index.htm and http://amzn.to/1tTW8Qi .
Hope you’re doing well!
Thanks for these great links, Elizabeth! I meant to comment earlier, but I’ve been too busy clicking away :)
And thanks for the mention!
Julie–You’re so welcome…great post! And thanks for coming by.
