tools and all that caper

With nanowrimo over it’s hard to keep away from the forums and get on with making mince pies and christmas presents, but one thing caught my eye this evening and that was the stupendous range of writing software out there that people have been using to write their nano novels with. I hopped over to Scrievener to have a decko at what all the fuss was about and sure enough, it look impressive and ooh ahh, I could use that, but really, if your writing sucks, no amount of gizmo technology is going to help. I think I will stick to text edit on my mac and the good old pencil/pen and notebook, real folder and real paper index cards. Besides which I am jittery about downloading stuff in case it messes with my machine in some unforseen way.
