![]() I called my client as soon as I realized there was a problem, but at that point I wasn’t in complete panic mode yet. If it had waited 30 seconds, this would still be a sucky story but not an absolute freakin’ nightmare. I was literally - literally - attaching the draft to the e-mail when the computer froze up. I didn’t really think much of it, and I was learning to live with the random slowness.Īnd then disaster struck. In the meantime, my external hard drive (aka, the useless-when-I-actually-needed-it backup drive) spontaneously stopped working and had to be sent out for replacement. I kept calling tech support and they’d walk me through a temporary fix, but the problems just kept coming back. It was freezing randomly, and certain processes were running really slowly. What would you have done? Me, well, I had a panic attack.įor the last several months, there’s been something wrong with my computer. Yeah, that’s what happened to me last month. The one that’s due to the client tomorrow morning. And inside, trapped, is the proposal you have been slaving over for weeks. You try everything you can think of to no avail, so you do a forced shut-down…and then your computer never turns back on. You’re in the middle of attaching your revised, almost-final draft of a major proposal to an e-mail to your client when your computer freezes. By the way, I’m not amused.( - Imagine this: It’s the night before a big deadline, about 10 p.m. That is when I decided I was done with this piece of trash some morons made to be funny. I entered the basic information about the book and pressed the button to make the book. ![]() When I finally got through that process, I went to make a book again. Then, I find myself on the screen with my email and password again. Then, I pressed to go back and not make an account through Facebook. I had already put my password in for signing up with email. I put my email and password in, but the same flash happened and it told me to enter my Facebook account and sign up through Facebook. I tried to get to where I make a book, and it said to sign up. Then it had me on this screen that had 4 real books when suddenly, there was a flash, and the books disappeared leaving behind something that said I have ‘maked’ no books. 2 minutes later, when it was STILL white, I clicked on the x. I enter the app and I had this odd white box pop up. All the important functions are free from the get go, but the upgrade gets you the full functioning app. At free with a subscription upgrade, you can’t lose. ![]() If you’re a writer and doing your work is often unwieldy, give this try. There’s also a character design set up as well, where you can flesh out the characters in a close at hand workflow that can even flow back into the design tree for plot! But wait! That tree system is connected directly to the word processor, where you can work on a chapter, or a section of a chapter, make quick changes if need be, and even add ideas to each section or chapter as you need. ![]() In that workflow, you build the plot in a tree system. Need to work on a draft based on your ideas and outlines? It’s all organized so you can jump from one work flow to another. Outlines? Again, taken care of in this one app. Notes are one app, outlines in another, drafts in another app. In the past I’ve struggled to organize my work flow, but it always wound up being a mess.
