Avoiding Eating Crap and Junk….as a Writer

By on Saturday, May 8th, 2010 | Comments Off

When you spend hours in front of a computer screen every day, no matter how good your intentions are – eventually a deadline will require that you wind up eating a meal by the keyboard and then one meal turns into more and soon you’re eating “stuff” that is nutrition-less and garbage simply because it’s convenient to grab and run and get back to work…

I don’t like to eat anything that doesn’t do my body good so I try to keep fast snacks around that are good for me and the family.
We try to only eat local and organic foods and we won’t touch fast food which (besides the fat content) is because we don’t eat genetically modified foods. Don’t know about you but eating human, animal and bacteria DNA in our food because the USDA says it’s okay for us just doesn’t work.

Anyway one of my favorite sites is The Vegan Lunch Box and she made these groovy little oatmeal packets that are great to have around ….

Homemade Instant Oatmeal Packets

IMG 9872 Avoiding Eating Crap and Junk....as a WriterI leave for work a little after 6:00am, and by the time my break rolls around at 9:30 I’m ready for a breakfasty snack. Fruit is good, but having access to hot water made me think of instant oatmeal, the kind that comes in little packets flavored with yummy maple and brown sugar.

The problem is, most prepackaged instant oatmeal is full of junk, and I HATE oatmeal with salt in it. (My mom never put salt in our oatmeal; the first time I had salty oatmeal at a restaurant I gagged.)

So, I decided to try making my own instant oatmeal packets!

What Program Do You Use to Write the Most?

By on Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 | Comments Off

I get asked that question a lot.  

Most people are surprised to learn it’s not “Word”. However when you write for the web, blogs and other web content – Word isn’t the best because clients that like to cut-n-paste your articles into their websites will find that sometimes Word can add coding that may make the page display funny or worse – the coding itself can display at the top of the page and it’s fairly ugly looking.

I use a not often spoken about program called Note Tab Pro from Fookes Software. It writes in plain text, you can add any html you need as you go with hot keys and it does spell check, keyword density and word count – all at once. It’s fast loading even on my overburdened laptop and it’s very affordable.

I started out with the freebie “Lite” version and then went for “Pro” after I found it so useful for my writing. I can work on numerous items at the same time because it has a tabbed feature and you can set it up to save as you go so if your computer enjoys displaying the blue screen of death on occasion as mine does – especially when I’m at word 390 of a 400  word article, then this will save you from a lot of retyping.

 This isn’t an affiliate marketing ploy or anything like that – I just like their software – check it out here -Notetab by Fookes.
