My Once-A-Month Post and IWSG for May



THE GROUP LIST
So spring has done it's thing and now we're heading into summer. Flowers are blooming, new green is still present and I am bone tired. I feel like a limp dishrag, as my grandmother used to say. I am particularly in-inspired but have made myself get back to writing at lease a little bit each day. For that I am grateful. And in spite of my fatigue my post is full of fun stuff this month, just to boost your moral of course! Our house is on the market and you are welcome to "tour" it if you'd like...


OUR HOUSE FOR SALE



After six months or more of preparation and getting rid of 50% of our belongings, I am ready to not be in "house" mode. I wanted to mention that I'm trying out Scrivener to finish my WIP and so far, with help from friends and how-to videos I am making good progress. It's a different mind set, but so far so good. I wanted to ask if any of you writers out there have done or do use Scrivener? What do you think of it? Does it work with the way you think?

So far these are the only issues I have...
Can't find a synonym finder.
Can't "find and replace" in a WHOLE document, not just the chapter. Well, I haven't figured out if you can or not.
And I didn't realize how to set up the dictionary so now I only have English but no French.

Other than that I hope you are all, writers or not, enjoying the "calmer" weather, life, and whatever it is in life that makes you feel the best. I will leave you with a poem from Victor Hugo...
Victor Hugo

La vie est une fleur dont l'amour est le miel...
Life is a flower of which love is the honey...

And since I have a sweet tooth, this suits me fine!

The awesome co-hosts for the May edition of the IWSG are Stephen Tremp, Fundy Blue, MJ Fifield, Loni Townsend, Bish Denham, Susan Gourley, and Stephanie Faris!
Please visit and thank them!

And Last but not Least...
