…and disappearing posts. What is with WordPress these days? This is the second time I’ve had to retype a dang post. (And no, it isn’t another page. Le sigh.)
Okay, so voice recognition. The headset I bought was a replacement headset missing several important components. Nowhere in the description did it say anything about it being that, so I’ve arranged to return it. Then I looked further into these headsets (which I should have done sooner) and discovered that they are very flimsy and sometimes don’t work. So, back to the drawing board.
Installed a Remote Microphone app on my tablet and have been messing with it, getting a feel for things. I also discovered that the version of Dragon I own comes with transcription. Win.
So, because Grave Touched edits are coming back tonight, I’m shifting my goal to x amount of pages per day, once I find out the scope of the edits/revisions. I’ll work on the other projects when I can, since I’d still like to make some progress on them before things get busier as we get closer to release (May 1st). Also, I had hoped to release Fireborn before Grave Touched, but it will depend on how fried I am (last time, I didn’t write for 2 months. Brain fried and wrists very bad). So that will remain up in the air for now.
Stats!

Wow! You’ve got lots on the go. I think I’m overwhelmed with a blog and a story. Oh well, to each their own level of craziness. Are you trying to increase your chocolate consumption or decrease it? Hope those squares aren’t chocolate filled if decreasing is what you’re trying to do. Good luck with everything! 🙂
Hi, Isobel! It may seem like a lot, but a lot of it is thinking. 😉 I’m *supposed* to be on a diet, but I slip up like all the time. I only track it because it adds a bit of fun into the mix, being a chocoholic and all. 😉 I’ve found that a lot of my commenters enjoy reading my stats. 🙂
good luck with your edits. and with making what progress you can on your other projects.
Thanks Fallon! (BTW, one of my characters in my series is named Fallon). 😉
I love the titles “Fireborn” and “Ever Touched.” Definitely intriguing. I’ll be interested to hear more about your adventures with voice recognition software. Are you planning to use Dragon for your writing? I’ve heard good things about it.
Good luck with your goals this week!
Thanks, Denise! Yep, I’m a long-time user of Dragon (since 2003). They’ve really upped their game with each updated edition. It was pretty good in ’03. Now it’s phenomenal. I’ll be posting more as we go, so stay tuned. 😉
I really think it is wise to focus on scope rather than volume of pages. Quality over quantity is a mindset for writing.
I agree with this, Pamela. 🙂
