It's time to change.
I admit that I'm doing a bad work on my blog and the main reason is that mainly I don't belive in blogging.
Anyway, I'm reading a book: Technical Blogging: Turn Your Expertise into a Remarkable Online Presence by Antonio Cangiano.
This book convinced me that I was wrong and I need to evolve and try to develop a real blog.
So, during the next weeks, I'm going to rebuild all my website sharing with you my "rebirth" path.
Stay tuned!
...maybe.
I'm collecting some interesting reference about Emacs for writers. I want highlight two post here.
The first is Let's just use Emacs By Urpo Lankinen. He describes exactly my feeling about writers' tools and it faces the Scriveners dilemma (buy it, don't buy it). The post convinced me (I was already convinced actually) that Emacs could be a good tools to write novels.
Anyway a big doubt still stays into the deepest part of my soul: Emacs could be a distracting tool. Yes, I know, Emacs is (could be) a minimalist tool and it boosts your writing speed and it helps you to focus on your work and... and... and... but you have to learn it before to gain any sort of advantage form it. If you aren't a Emacs pro, you'll loose a lot of time in trying to be a pro. The main advantage of Scrivener is that you already know all you need to write and you can optimize your performances by learning tips and tricks day by day. To be clear, my suggestion is take your time to learn Emacs, anyway. This because some day in the future you'll wake up and latest Scrivener release will be full of feature that you'll never use (please Keith don't!) and the research of the perfect novelist tools will start back again...
The second post that I want link here is Writing in the Age of Distraction by Cory Doctorow. I quote, in toto, this post.
I'd linke to mention also The Woodnotes Guide to Emacs for Writers by Randall Wood. I suspect that the document is not fully update but it suggests good hints.
