WIP Wednesday 10/28/09 & NaNo Alert: Liquid Story Binder on Sale Nov. 1!

Sorry I've been absent. My current WIP is my house. I'm trying to get it organized before NaNo starts, and I'm woefully behind schedule as I've been working more hours at the job that actually pays the bills. And the increase of hours at work took a physical toll. I don't do stairs very well for extended periods of time. So that had me thinking that I need to find another job. But I don't just want any job, I want a job that I love. Yes, I love writing. But that's not bringing in the cheese right now. And my current job isn't bringing in enough. Being happily single, all the finances are on me. I have no partner to back me up financially. So I'm contemplating starting my own business. I'm doing research in that area right now. I figure I'll keep my current job and start the business part-time until I build it up. Then it's bye-bye to climbing stairs constantly at work and wearing out what knee cartilage I have left. And the great thing is that writing can also be involved with this business. It just won't be fiction.

So far: bathroom and kitchen are done, living room is halfway there, and the bedroom will be last due to the closets and the files. I'm off work Thursday and Friday, so hopefully all will be completed before Sunday.

I'm working this weekend and I've done absolutely no planning for NaNo. I didn't plan last year, and all turned out well. Let's just hope that FBTSOMP plan (Fly By the Seat of My Pants) works this year.

But the Really Exciting News is that Liquid Story Binder is going on sale Nov. 1 at half price! Sale price is less than $25! I've been waiting months for this software to go on sale. I've tried it, and it's totally awesome. It has more features than I probably will ever use, but they are there if I need them. People who use this software rave about it. And it's portable! Yes, the learning curve is steep. But the developer of this software is so into customer service, he has a Yahoo Group dedicated to helping people to use all the features of this program. Download the free trial now, join the Yahoo Group, and when the sale starts Sunday, just purchase the half-off license.

I'm so psyched! Even though I'll be purchasing this next week (on Friday, which is payday), I don't know if I will use if for NaNo this year due to the learning curve. But I'll probably play around with it, and most likely turn into a LSB convert in December and use it exclusively for writing novels after November.

Don't forget Daylight Savings Time ends on Nov. 1st. That means an extra hour to write your novel! On to the insanity that is lovingly known as NaNoWriMo.
