I don’t usually promote corporations, but Scrivner has been so useful to me in writing and organizing my novel.To each her own, of course, but I really love this and can’t imagine writing my novel without it. Just wanted to give everyone a head’s up on the %50 deal. It’s worth a try!
Recently I posted VIDA’s list of “Twenty Gypsy Women You Should Be Reading,” and if that made you happy, then you’ll love this. I’ve gushed about Qristina Zavačková’s blog, http://golden-zephyr.com/, before– she’s the Romani blogger who inspired my Gypsy fashion essay and photo tale with her dikhlo tumblr.
