We've had the husband away for 2 weekends and about half a set of weekdays over the last few weeks, jury duty, end of school and now a birthday all this month. It's made things a little hectic. I haven't stopped moving forward though. This week a kind friend is going to suck out my netbook's hard drive so I have access to my old files (and my son's baby pictures!) Today my replacement is coming. I decided to go lowtech this time and I ordered an alphasmart. It's cheaper then any laptop/tablet/netbook and best of all, there is no internet, solitaire or anything else to get in the way of my word count.
I have also set my desktop up with Ywriter. I can not first draft with this software. There are too many awesome little distractions built into it. It is amazing for editing a work. While still keeping everything in one file you divide your novel into chapters and scenes. You can create character reference notes, settling notes, and plot notes in the file to pull up as needed with out leaving them in your finished "manuscript" file. It was written by a writer for writers and it's free.
