Friday, February 22nd, 2008 09:49After about an hour of fail and desperately consulting tutorials, I now have a little part of my site where I can stick drafts so I can consult* them anywhere**
* Yes, consult. I've been working in a notebook for about a month and it's great for just getting the first chunk of a story out. Sometimes even for second and third drafts, if I'll be making immense changes and don't mind flipping back a lot. But eventually I type it up.
** I did NaNo in Googledocs and it worked okay for writing, but I've done almost nothing with what I wrote since the end of November, because it's sooo long and I don't actually like the interface (if anyone has found a way to force it not to open everything in new windows; also, why does it list every single document on the same page rather than having "next X oldest" like gmail???), and yet I really, really don't want to print it out in twenty-page increments in the library; it would eat my print quota and there are pieces of it that I don't want the printer-minders to see.
