Creative Content Guy
Getting back with an old flame… After many trials, as documented in previous posts, I decided to abandon plain text. Perhaps I was throwing my toys out of the pram, but ironically, the simplest of document formats was causing me complicated issues. Or perhaps it wasn’t the document type, but how to use it. How I used … Continue reading My Plain Text Journey Continues!

In a recent post, I sang from the rooftops about Ulysses, which has replaced … Continue reading In Praise of Scrivener 👏
