Good moments today included receiving an coupon voucher for a new, beautiful “night mode” for the much-loved Ommwriter program I downloaded back in 2014, and hearing back from the editor of an original story I’m getting published in an anthology. She approved my comments! Very happy about that. I think the story is going to very much look as I want it to look.

I’ve also got Star Trek Discovery to look forward to tonight. Excited!!! It remains to be seen if I can scrounge together the cash for CBS AllAccess, but I don’t know. Maybe I can, like, get a crappier phone plan or something to make up the difference.

Anyway, that’s daunting right now. The first episode is at least in my budget without having to think about it, so I’m reeeeeaally looking forward to it. :’)

5 Useful Tools for Indie Authors

  The term “indie author” has the connotation of a woman who charts her own path, a lone wolf who braves the brutal jungle that is the current publishing world, without the benefit (or shackle, depending on your point of view) of a big publishing house or a team of editors, graphic artists, and publicists behind you. “Indie” to some means rogue adventurer, free spirit, someone who is perhaps a…

Ommwriter is a simple text processor that firmly believes in making writing a pleasure once again, reinvindicating the close relationship between writer and paper. The more intimate the relation, the smoother the flow of inspiration.

In my previous post, I talked a bit about Peter Elbow’s concept of Freewriting, and I wanted to share the program that I use to do all of my writing (papers, to forum posts). This “distraction-free” text processor allows writers to have a blank canvas that takes over the entire screen. It doesn’t have a spell-check feature, so you won’t get those annoying red squiggles that you’ll see in Google Docs, Word, or even here on Tumblr. It allows writers to just simply write. You can change the interface and even add keyboard sounds and soothing music.

This has always been helpful for me to use when I write. I get so distracted by misspelled words as I write (BECAUSE THE SCREEN IS BASICALLY SCREAMING AT ME WITH THAT RED LINE), that I lose all fluidity and momentum I might have built up. When I’ve finished writing my thoughts out, I’ll copy and paste to another word processor and begin to edit.

Do you make an effort to create beautiful things, beautiful quiet things? Do you look at the structure of those things and think, they could only be described in beautiful words and phrases? Do you pass your gaze on those things slowly, and with little effort? Do you notice them as if there is nothing else? Do you consume them slowly and quietly? Do you feel them on days like this when there is nothing else to be done when all but this has fallen away silently? Do you make an effort to love those things as slow as you can, as deep as you can? Do you glide with them and slip on them? Do you palm them and feel every grain, every ridge? Do you know them better than you know anything, better than you know yourself? Do they excite you in slow and passionate waves? Do you place them before you and join them in emotion? Do they make you cry at their wonder and smile at their face, so full of texture? Is the process made all the more wonderful? Is it affectionate? Does it love you back? Does it feel beautiful? Did it take effort?
