[Robinne Weiss]

That was always a 'girl' thing, my middle girl still does it, and she's 16! She looks for the pencil that's the size of a thumb nail.

My daughter, too!

I would LOVE a coffee maker in my writing room. Cause, you know, it's a long walk downstairs to the kitchen. LOL!!

Writing... Room?
Like, a whole room, for writing?
That's the perfect Christmas present for me - an actual personal space to put my laptop. One that I don't have to wipe ketchup from.

I'm a Mac user, so Pages to me is excellent (and far more user-friendly than Word). How does Scrivener differ?

Scrivener lets you do loads of things Word or Pages aren't designed to do. It's not merely a document to write onto. It's an organizational tool and much more.

And as an aside, it might be useful for you to consider getting Word for Mac. While Pages does let you save a document as a Word doc, I had issues on the other end with edits from more than one editor when I did that. With Word for Mac, no issues on my editor's end at all.

My perfect gifts for Christmas; a new laptop, a nice teapot, leaf tea, books and more books. Reading leads to the best writing, I think.
Oh and a sample of chocolates, Thorntons is good.

sigh...I wish I weren´so fat. Then I could eat chocolate all through my editing sessions.
