NIFTY FINDS FOR WRITERS

My Hours

A time tracking service that you will actually will use on your computer to view your billable and non billable hours. I love using it to break my tasks down into categories like new draft, revising, or research etc. It's even got a way to track clients and rates. Simple and fun to use, everything to like.

ProWritingAid

l that is worthy of you. I've tried some editing apps like Hemingway (OK) and Grammarly (Terrible). But ProWritingAid is an editing tool that will become your best friend. You input words and get an overall score, separate grade for grammar, spelling, terminology, and style; unique words and 'glue' words are flagged, and that's just the beginning. You have the option of moving through over 15 categories of comments. It's like having an editor in your pocket. I LOVE IT.

Power Thesaurus

I think Power Thesaurus is the best one out there. Visual Thesaurus is good, but they bore you with a complicated log in each time and they charge for it. Power Thesaurus has a spiffy design and many fun features to perk up your writing, and it's free.

Anna's Editorial

Hi Folks,

While it's amazing fun to be able to live my dream of writing, and to be working with brilliant North Carolina Central Student Interns who are helping me with art design, and social media communications, there's no substitute for sharing yoga and meditation with you which is partly why I'm looking forward to book publication so I can travel around the country, do book readings with chair yoga and meditation sessions attached for free.

Thank you for your comments about one of the proposed designs for the book cover. Design work is continuing and I'm looking forward to sharing the series prototype soon when a few of the different overlays for individual books are done.

Please bear with me because writing a compelling newsletter on a Monday is challenging enough, without thinking about all the things I am determined to ignore including surviving the Ides of March that stand between me and Spring.

Fortunately the people who know about newsletters say "Be sure to make the articles short and concise as people tend not to read much more than a couple of paragraphs."

Feeling Generous to the World ?

Check out Kariuki's poultry farm in Kenya. P.S. She's not a relative, but a white friend of mine whose family used to own people in Jamaica where my mother's family is from turned me on to this.
