    Ramp up Your Writing Speed – I really need that one…

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigAugust 31, 2014

      Alex–I wouldn’t change your method…it works for you!

  2. Margot KinbergAugust 31, 2014

    Elizabeth – Thanks as always for these great links. I think the Universe is trying to tell me something; I see several links that suggest alternatives to outlines when it comes to writing. Hmm…..maybe outlining isn’t the only way… ;-)

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigAugust 31, 2014

      Margot–That’s what they say! Although I’ve been sticking with outlining lately. Although I sure do deviate from them.

  3. James HubbsAugust 31, 2014

    Dang! Look at all the links! This is going to keep me busy for a while.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigAugust 31, 2014

      James–Enjoy! :)

    I have just written a Danish post about the right kind of tools for writers and as I have linked to an article about different keyboards, I would like to have a link informing about the software you use as well (word-to-speech, isn’t that correct?)

    Greetings from me who often sees your posts but is too buzy – or lazy – to comment ;)

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigSeptember 1, 2014

      Hi Dorte!

      I use Dragon Naturally Speaking: http://www.nuance.com/dragon/index.htm and http://amzn.to/1tTW8Qi .

      Hope you’re doing well!

  5. Julie MusilSeptember 1, 2014

    Thanks for these great links, Elizabeth! I meant to comment earlier, but I’ve been too busy clicking away :)

    And thanks for the mention!

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigSeptember 2, 2014

      Julie–You’re so welcome…great post! And thanks for coming by.
