My Computer Is Being a Dick Again. Surprise Surprise.

Yet another thing that I forgot to tell you all!

I have a PC now, have had it for a while, in fact. My Dad cobbled it together out of parts we had sitting around. It's good for writing - I have Scrivener on it - and it's good for games like Spore, Minecraft and stuff.

Computers like to malfunction for you, don't they? That is not very nice of them at all.

I hope Amethyst isn't sick. How did you learn to tell them apart?

How do you like Scrivener? I've considered buying it.

They really do, I just can't seem to keep one functional for very long D: I dunno whether it's usually down to faulty components (we usually cobble together PCs from what we have lying in the house - so I usually get my dad's hand-me-downs when he upgrades), but this time is DEFINITELY because Dad goofed up.

Well, that's good that it looks like it's healing. Hopefully the next fix of your computer will last forever! :D

Scrivener looks scary to learn, LOL. I bought a chromebook to take with me when I write on the go because it was cheaper, but apparently I can install Linux and then scrivener on it. I don't know. I guess I could just try it on my desktop and see if it works...

When I first bought Scrivener I decided to try the tutorial so I could learn how to use it and - holy hell, there are so many features. It's kinda intimidating until you realise you probably won't need most of them right away.

I just learned the basics (e.g. creating chapters and scenes, the corkboard view, assigning keywords etc) and decided to learn the rest as I go. The tutorial's always there when I need it, as I inevitably will :'D

If you have a NaNo discount code, then even better!
