Always Innovating’s new ARM Netbook looks like A Cyberpunk Device right Out of William Gibson:

Right Now the ARM processor is the sticking point- Nice for Linux and Android, but if it’s just a glorified iPhone….Well, Who Knows? The Magnetic back and internal Dongles are interesting.

Using Open Office to Write a Novel: Quick Links

Posted by admin on June 20, 2009

I’m Gonna Start Working on Byzantine Roads Again: It’s been a while since I seriously tried to develop this site: I overextended myself over the winter and had a few health problems. But I think I’ll Give it another Shot.

In the meantime, I’ve been playing with Open Office again. I had switched to AbiWord, but have recently Stumbled across a couple of websites that I Like:

First, Justine Larbalestier has a nice article on how to write a novel., focusing on Mental preparation. She Talks about setting up a Spreadsheet in open office and tracking Plots and characters. All around a Nice Article and very motivational. This One’s Been Floating around for a while and deserves to be read if you’ve been having trouble getting started.

Next, R.L.Copple gives us extensive directions on setting up a Open Office Writer Template to format your Manuscript and Organise your notes. Follow this step by step and all you have to do is sit down and type.

And Finally, StephenW has uploaded an Open Office Template for Novel Writers. This template is a work in progress, but Stephen is looking for members of the Google Group to help him extend it. I’ve been playing with it for a couple days and am really impressed with the work that’s already gone into this project. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
