What works for everyone would definitely be good to you but if you have your own way of doing <a href="http://blog.lexcode.com.ph/the-role-of-transcription-companies-in-todays-industries/" rel="nofollow">transcription</a> like using a notebook and a pen and it works much better than a computer then it's the best I thinkAndrew Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703247472006591602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501702437500544780.post-78783898205799412612012-12-05T16:49:14.232+00:002012-12-05T16:49:14.232+00:00Tnank you Avril.

I think everyone finds their own system (if you're like me, somewhat chaotic...) How lovely that you still write sketches and make notes by hand even if the machine works better for you for the big push. I have this thing about blood from the heart, down the arm, through the fingers to mix with the ink and spill on the page. But that's pretty mad I know.Good luck with your novel, however you draft it!<br />Hello Kathleen. Thank you. Of course it IS a fetish. But in a good way. <br />wxWendy Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532817003318632539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501702437500544780.post-39256084179994762522012-12-05T15:25:34.434+00:002012-12-05T15:25:34.434+00:00Lovely post!

In fact I have quite a notebook fetish - they have to feel 'right' for whatever I'm writing.<br />Kathleen Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645566938871914385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501702437500544780.post-11993290222579643562012-12-05T14:44:24.864+00:002012-12-05T14:44:24.864+00:00I used to write my novels long hand too.

Now I find I'm better at drafting on a computer (only because I'm so new to it, only got my first one 5 years ago) but I have notebooks for my notes and character sketches and short bits of dialogue. My office is a nightmare, but I wouldn't trade my paper notes for anything.

Certainly all writers who use notebooks - (are there any who don't, ever?)will be familiar with the multiple notebook problem. Maybe the five notebooks simply reflect the organic way you work and the fact that this has been an embryonic story, still finding its way, and a big one at that. I think when the time comes to work in one notebook, as it has now, then you know the story has taken hold - very exciting.Avrilhttp://www.avriljoy.comnoreply@blogger.com
