I think however it works for you is how you should use it. Bells and whistles are all well and good, but why complicate things if simplicity works? The additional features in LSB work for me…but not all of them. It’s a pick and choose what suits you best.

Thanks for the info. I nearly died when I lost a few thousand words. You are right, you get it back but the flavor isn’t the same. heavy sigh.

Nah, it’s an LG Viewty, but I would like an iPhone and an iPad…

I e-mail my updated manuscript to myself every single day…. even if my computer explodes, my house burns down, and my car is stolen, it’s safely out there in cyberspace!

Thanks, Joan. I’ve never heard of any of these. You speak so calmly of losing three manuscripts. Ack!! That’s horrible. Just the thought of it makes me sick.

I have Liquid Story Binder, and really like the character dossiers and being able to have a bunch of images at my fingertips for inspiration. I don’t use it much for the actual writing, I still find that easier to do in Word, but I like it for the planning stages of writing.

Of course, I haven’t played with it as much as I should, so I’m sure there’s some features I’m missing out on!

I’m obviously a very confused woman.
