Blech, sorry about the recent absence, not that I was probably missed, but I have been busy. Between classes, and training for my promotion at work I have had zero time to do anything. So, this is my unofficial return, though given the coming holidays it is likely that I will not be able to make regular appearances. I will do my best, however. T
Some writers love it. Others say it's overkill. Black Obelisk says the key to it is choice. I believe all those things are true. Liquid Story Binder XE is, quite simply, the sh*t.

This isn't a post about writing; not yet. It does pertain however to the tool I use to write, without which I would surely die . . . . For too long I've wanted to upgrade my bumbling, slow HP Pavilion computer. I've had it since 2003 and it was a gift so I didn't get to pick the specs I wanted for it, like a video card capable of gaming or the type of RAM one needs to multitask with programs like Photoshop, Dreamweaver, MangaStudio, or Cubase and Pro-tools.
