I know! Can you believe Anti-Nano is pretty much over already? But that does mean that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
wwathon is just around the corner, so the fun need not end yet. Huzzahs!
Anyway. I am shamed to admit I'm still slacking. Well, that's not strictly true. Over the weekend I finished up a short story, edited it, submitted it, and had it accepted for publication, and am now waiting for the contract to come through. That's pretty damn good, if I do say so myself! Today I've got a half-day at work, so am planning to get back into Night and Chaos this evening. I feel like I'm very close to the end now, and hope to have the first draft wrapped up by the weekend.
How about everyone else? Tell me you've been more productive than I have!

As for Liquid Story Binder- it's this weirs and somewhat daunting writing tool that is like a digital ringbinder that lets you build image ref galleries and character profiles. The defining part for me is that chapters and scenes can be written individually and then shuffled according to your prefered timeline.
I shall provide a hands link: http://www.blackobelisksoftware.com/ - Somewhat daunting for me in the beginning, but also looking to be a good switch (free trial FTW!)

Ok- pity party over.
