RE: seventh book, seventh sentence writing challenge
That was impressive! It's a an unusual story, quite interesting, like a diary journal on how you create content and the challenges you are overcoming in the process of writing.. didn't know about Ghostwriter. How many posts have you written with that one?
I try and write all my posts in ghostwriter first. Then it's a simple select all (cntl + A) and cntl+C copy, and paste into the posting box (cntl + V) on Steemit. (sorry for that simpleton thing, but some people don't know you can do these things)
I finally discovered that you can change the size of the little box that steemit gives us for posting and commenting in. But even so, It is far easier to see the whole thing laid out in a big white space in ghostwriter.
If you try it, I am sure you'll be pleasantly surprised. And did I mention it's free and open source, I think. (the latter, I mean. It is definitely free! Gotta love that community thang)
I think I am only trying my hand at creative writing because ghostwriter makes it seem fun.
or something
Try the most dangerous writing app too, but that is too high stakes for me.
But fun and a way to lift your 'hesitation' game.
do five or ten minutes in that every morning to start and you will be writing better, or at least faster.
But in my house there is rarely a ten minute period without some sort of minor domestic incident, and you cannot even save until you have done the time. And if you stop you lose it.
Ever try markdownpad2?
also notable are stackmd.io which is an online editor with sidebyside preview, which renders code exactly the way steemit does.
hackmd.io doesn't render the code perfectly the same as steemit, but allows for realtime collaborative effort quite simply. (nice even for someone to proofread)
Markdownpad crashes on my computer, I have it here.
stackmd.io sounds interesting
I'll look into it soon
thanks man
I really like using ghostwriter though, can't say why, and it doesn't render everything well either.
thanks for the update on ghostwriter! :-D I don't know what I'd do without markdownpad!!!
it was the one I choose first, but I never got it to work.
So I went back to try again and choose ghostwriter
oh, and it counts your words too, pretty obviously, making it natural to want to try and make a particular number of words. For me anyway.
I have almost never sent an SMS that had less than the exact number of characters permitted. Makes for some challenges composing a simple message to take up 160 characters. (that's how many you get in Spain, I think)
funny how I never got into twitter.
maybe I should revisit.
I follow some funny people on twitter, but I never post, except autosharing my facebook posts, which sucks of course.
I think they've recently increased the 16 symbols limit on Twitter. So, I should give a try to Ghostwriter.
listen, I highly recommend it, but I am generally considered pretty strange in many things.
But what the hey, if you don't like it you can always go back to what you have been doing up till now.
Which is...?
What have you been doing?
I tried to write directly, but as you know, it's usually better to let things rest and digest before re-writing and then publishing. Probably should do it for comments too but that's a step too far.
Do you write somewhere else first?
