calajane I like the idea of a loop. I sometimes also do somethining I call a mirror. It works great with sequels and stories in a series. Liek recently, I was writing a sequel to one of my stories. Where the structure was set almost identically to the first story, with...

calajane (completely off topic, 20 000 words is usually around 38 pages in my experience) I started to seriously outline my stories only recently (ever since I got Scrivener) and it does help. But sometimes I just want to start actual writing, even before the...

calajane @owlwings! It's sooo good to hear I'm not the only one with opinion like that! And I would probably not mind that all if I could just opt out of all this interconnectivity!

calajane That might be true, but I doubt I will like the features that irk me right on the spot. I really don't feel comfortable with the level of integration between services. I would prefer to have an option of exactly how much I want every service I use be connected...

I am thinking of outsourcing some content writing to some writers to people on odesk as their rates seem very reasonable and the reviews on their previous works. I just do not know how to invite people to take up my project....

calajane I looked into it, and there's an option to browse contractors, so maybe that's your solution. Here's my profile, if you're interested: http://www.odesk.com/users/~~823c292ffd16a85a

I like to eat my meals with rice instead of potatoes (as is traditional in my country), but I don't know many meals that would go well with rice. Anything you can recommend?

calajane I want to explore rice with vegetables, but I think the various meats would go very well with it as well. Thank you so much for the suggestions!

calajane LOL. Thank you for this response! I agree, rice goes with pretty much everything apparently (judging from all the replies I got). I think my venturing into this rice wolrd will be very fun, and very tasty!

It's something I've been wondering for a while now. Do any of you set up a word count goal for 2011? Is there a number of words you want to writing this year? Me, I set up a goal of writing 100 000 words by the end of the year....

calajane Well it's been my wordcount goal for the last two years, but I haven't been able to meet it yet. I hope that this year, since I'm doing a lot more writing and I have a lot planned I will be able to do it. And it's going well, I have 15% already written. \o/
