I'm running Word X for Mac on a G4 Powerbook. Repair permissions now and then3113 said:
mostly then. It's always been intermittently unstable. So I tend to shut it down when I'm not using it, and rarely keep it open with the Mac in sleep mode. Instability happens about once a month - I may have got a female computer.

Desperately busy at the moment, hence not around too much.
don't mind me! 
Tons of room. For example, who gets to be on top? If both want to be on top, you've got conflict. Any hang-ups? Any emotional/mental scars from bad past experiences? Are both of them going to give the other what they need/want? Or is one of them a lousy lover? Will there be consequences if they fuck (i.e. they're married to other people? One's a priest? Etc.).Stella_Omega said:
Of course you can. Suspence and danger (the potential for danger) certainly. You have both in your stories already.
Zeb_Carter said:I am currently using yWriter2, it let's you not only keep notes and descriptions of the different parts of the story it allows you to write as well. It breaks everything down to chapters then scenes within a chapter. You compose the story at the scene level.
You can then export it from yWriter to text, html, etc. for publication.
Plus it's free!

Hmm, a priest? 'nother plot is hatching...3113 said:
Oh, I do that too- I have one story with four permutations now, none of which are finished- but "Sarabande" is well over 75,000 words and changing the plot means changing a LOT of text- and I will need to do that, if I want to make it a coherent whole.

Be not sad, lovely! I think you're doing just fine!
That was all back in the nineties, actually....

And damned if it isn't hard for me to create a story arc and plot and all of that stuff- up till now I either write short stories, or I start off- like in "Sarabande" write as long group of related incidents and then don't know where to go from there.
What with Word being so clunky and stupidly bug-ridden, especailly on a mac, a simpler word processing software would be better, so I started using textedit to compose in, and it's really not bad! And I discovered that I could open two windows, and use one to write notes and keep bits of revision in.
And then it occurred to me that there must BE word processors already out there, with linked notes and stuff, and there are- and as I was looking around, I discovered storyweaver which promises to guide a writer through the whole understructure of the thing.
So I downloaded it, and I think it will work for me! It's NOT a word processor though. It does everything but that in the story process, and you have to write the thing in something else.
My problem is that the effort of creating the structure is so foreign to me, and makes me feel ADD, and I wonder if anyone has tips, or other software they like, or, umm... kisses to help me feel better or such...
