About that outline…
As soon as the iPad inspired a slurry of Android clones I’m sure more than a few writers thought, “Now I can write that novel or screenplay in bed, waiting at the doctor office, or yes, even while sitting on the toilet!” But wait! Not so fast. How does the state of the art stack
Why shower crayons work: Routine. It forces us to focus and make decisions, even if it’s only for a few minutes a day. You don’t need hours, days, or weeks to make a decision. Most decisions can take place within a few seconds. Even the most creative thorny problems. You may not find the best
Novelists usually work by a process of drafting. They write straight through to a 1st draft. Then they change the things they don’t like in the 2nd draft, and iterate into a 3rd, etc. Drafting is a linear process.

Seth Godin has a definition for yet another type of blog.

The goal of the blogger is to put fuel on the fire and to keep the existing audience engaged. The ideas don’t have to be new, and they don’t have to spread, but the blog is a great way to create and maintain this community of fellow travelers.”
Since blogs like Melly’s All Kinds of Writing, many of the others in the sidebar, and yours truly don’t really fit under the ‘cat blog,’ the ‘boss blog,’ or the ‘idea blog,’ then there’s really only one kind of blog category left that we fit.
I guess that makes us Rocky Horror blogs. I’ll take it. :)
