I am leaping over to WordPress because I am faithless to computer programs (Scrivener/Liquid Story Binder/PageFour, Safari/Firefox, etc.), and blogs are no different.
I was mostly sold when I found I could import entries from other services like Blogger and LiveJournal. Blogger was seamless, and really I’ve never found fault with the system, but LiveJournal [...]

Hello world! (Third Time’s The Charm)

Tools
I’m switching back to Liquid Story Binder.
Why? Originally I left the program because I played too much with the ‘goodies’, all the little settings and preferences, getting nothing done. I’m a tweaker, I’ve come to realize, a fiddler, a noodler. I thought a bare-bones program like PageFour was just what would cure those time-wasting [...]

Housework. *grumble*
Something I’ve never been good at, housework. I have a huge to-do list, items I’m knocking off one after the other in a slow-but-steady pace and none of them very fun. After the outside activities (grocery shopping, picking up items for the backup), I’m focusing on inside activities like the dishes, laundry, and [...]

Some Progress Had
Finally caught up on all my Grave Robber notes, inputted the bare-bones material I created for Candy Floss and now I’m entering the new pieces of Spirit Cat into my folders. Booyah!
Maybe what I should do is if I write any notes at work, I type them up before bed the same night. [...]

Am I?
Very slowly adding some hand-written material into PageFour. Feeling terribly lazy about the whole thing.
Feeling like I don’t fit at my desk. There’s never a way to feel comfortable while I’m sitting here. The chair is too low, so my arms rest against the hard edge of the table. If [...]

Last Touches
I’ve finished the imports. There was only a few things I had to move over manually, the dossiers (cut and paste and cut and paste) and one builder that I’d used for a short story. Turns out I was using the builder a little wrong – you can use it to write a [...]

That Went Well
Surprisingly well.
I’ve imported all the ‘easy’ documents from LSB into PageFour. The things I have to port manually are bits from the builders, the character dossiers, and the outline. The latter is particularly important, because I had mostly hammered out the Spirit Cat outline in it earlier and I will need to [...]

Skewing the View
Firefox is more or less ready to go. I’ve ported over some writing links, and will likely pull over my research links into the Favorites for it, but otherwise it’s a nice, clean, streamlined browsing experience for me that is far less distracting than the bloat and incompatibilities of IE7.
(All right, I do admit [...]

New Programs, Old Programs
I shelled out the cash for PageFour but have played with it for all of 20 minutes since doing so. I received a bonus at work, so I figured I could splurge. I brought my laptop to work yesterday to play with it since I was going to be there an hour [...]

A ‘Dear John’ Letter to LSB
Dear Liquid Story Binder (LSB);
I love you. You know that, right? You were the one I wanted from the beginning, if I couldn’t have Scrivener. You had all the bells and whistles, you had sequences and note cards and dossiers and picture galleries and play lists and color schemes and so much more. You had [...]
