Memoirs of an English Major

Since I am going to enter Claire’s short story contest, I felt it was time to re-look at how I write and see if I can find a better. These days, I tend to write sporadically and non-linear, capturing whatever comes from my mind when it comes from my mind. With this in mind, I am trying out PageFour, a word processor made specifically for fiction writers. Even though I have only lightly touched it, I love it. It feels entirely different, allowing me to organize my sporadic thoughts within folder structures and pages, allowing my mind to keep thinking the way it is. Even though it is currently in demo mode, if by the end of the week I’m still in love with it, I will make a purchase. Possibly within the week, I’ll write a full review of the product, but so far, I am recommending it. I know tonight’s post is shorter than expected, but I am some what written out. The first draft of the short story should be done by this week and I will share it with everyone here. The basic concept actually comes from a bigger concept that I hope to write soon. What Radical Dreamer’s did for Chrono Cross is what I hope my short story shall do for mine.
