exploring the writing world
Okay, the penultimate post in the yearlong #52Tech series. The final one next week will simply provide an index post for the entire series. And this one contains a rundown of personal favourite Top 2 apps I use for writing. These will not be a surprise at all. Both of these apps got me through … Continue reading #52Tech Week 51–All Time Favourite Tech for Writers
As I wind up my year long project of posting once a week on tools I’ve found interesting for writers, I also meet that busy zone – just out of NaNoWriMo but with some writing to complete, and of course the holiday season and school holidays also. Here are two totally unconnected randomly found apps … Continue reading #52Tech Week 50–Random Finds: MyNoise.net and Pacemaker
20 Lines is a writing community for writing, sharing and reading very short stories.

Back in February this year, with #52Tech No. 6, I profiled Canva, a new at the time web-based graphics design app. Canva was pretty cool at the time, and since then – well, it’s gotten cooler, and more popular. Canva now does Kindle Covers, and has a new iPAD app just released.
Last week I profiled 8Tracks — an internet radio station full of writing playlists. But playlists are, and have been for many decades, a big thing for many people.
