estepheiaQuestion: Has anyone on my flist any experience with Writer's Café and StoryLines? How do I make the font larger? And is the bundle worth buying? I downloaded the demo version, but I am not the fastest learner when it comes to exploring new software. I haven't really felt like devoting a lot of time to experimenting with it...
So, any advice you can give me would be appreciated. :-)
I moved my computer out of the cellar today. My desk is now in the guest-room, which used to be the kids' room before they moved into my late granny's room. The room is painted in bright red and orange. And there's a window. Meaning I have better light and more oxygen. Maybe that will help me work.
I tried to write fanfic today, a Riley/Spike scene that I always meant to write. Nothing fancy, just a bit of porn set in a larger story that I'll never have the time to write... I'm not happy with it, but the way I feel today I could write Pulitzer Prize material and still feel it sucks. I'll reread it tomorrow, and if it doesn't suck, I'll post it...

Date: 2006-02-07 04:45 am (UTC)Font changing in StoryLines: use Preferences, and then Aesthetics. In Cafe, you can change the Notebook and Journal font the same way. There seems to be a way to change things in the Scrapbook too, but it didn't seem to work properly for me. I've not seen a way to change other fonts and displays, though I can't say I've looked that hard. I'm on a Mac with OSX Panther, so it's likely to be a bit different on a PC, and may you can change more.
Hope this helps

PS. I doubt that your R/S scene sucks; your writing doesn't. Sometimes it's not as powerful or polished as at other times, and sometimes the idea doesn't work but it never sucks.
