Flash Laptop

I had planned to blog yesterday and then today about more flash fiction on Twitter. After the list I made last week on my blog, I’ve found 20 more Twitter micro-fiction authors. But… yesterday around noon I got a shiny new Dell Studio in the post. You see, I’ve finally acknowledged that my wishful thinking (about my disability disappearing overnight like one of Nanny...

ND140

Well, I’ve decided to go ahead with it. Yes, I’m going to start posting flash fiction (aka Twiction, aka micro-fiction) on Twitter. My new account for this is ND140 I thought I’d be obsessing over every word, as I would if I were writing a poem, but there’s something so nice and easy about the Twitter format. Less pressure, perhaps. More casual? Not that I don’t care...

Readability

On Twitter yesterday, someone posted a link yesterday to a Readability Meter. Now I’ve never paid that much attention to these tools, even though a lot of them come with Word and WordPerfect and such. As it was one of those days (you know the ones), I decided I could fritter away a little time testing some of my stuff to see what US grade reading level someone would have to have to...

Ring Ring….

These days I do 92% of my internet browsing, Tweeting, and game playing through my iPod Touch, and I’ve noticed that very few blogs, including mine, had mobile support! So today I’ve added the WPTouch plugin to make browsing this blog much easier for those who, like me, have plunged into the mobile world. If you own a blog, I would ask, even beg, for you to add this or a similar...
