I recently happened across a peach of a writing program—just a simple text processor that brings back the peacefulness to writing. It’s called, Omm Writer. (Currently in Beta V2 and only available for Mac users, sorry to you PC folks out there.)
I knew I’d love this application when I went to the home page, and [...]

Ten Favorites
Sami, my blogger-buddy extraordinaire, posted a sweet post yesterday, which was inspired by Jeanne, another awesome soul.
Quite simply, it’s a call to action to name ten favorite things as well as ten favorite blogs.
I’m still blushing since last night, when Sami posted her “Ten Favorites” and included Jane Be Nimble as one her ten favorite [...]

I’ve built this blog slowly, earnestly, and with my best intentions.
My goals for my blog are few:
1) A vehicle to connect with others

I’m in the process of reinventing myself, shedding my skin, and uncovering a new Lori. A Lori that accepts the cards she’s been dealt and learns to play the hand with grace and gratitude. Actually, to be honest, gratitude remains a stretch for me, but I can certainly focus on living with grace. [...]

When each year draws to a close, I try to make a point to look back and evaluate where I’ve been. If only to appreciate where I’ve been, make sure the tracks I’ve laid are heading in the right direction, and remember that when days get rough, there’s almost a cosmic (some would [...]
My Writing Experiment – The End
The Short Version:
50,414 words in 19 days
I won NaNoWriMo!
(OK, so I only won a badge for my website and a PDF certificate, but I also have a draft of my first novel. How cool is that?)
The Longer Version:

Update No.2: My Writing Experiment

I’m become a writing machine.

Front Porch: A New Series at Jane Be Nimble
Fond memories occupy a large compartment of my mind. When I was a kid, I sometimes had the fortune to chill on the front porch of our farmhouse. If I spotted an uncle or neighbor—I’d invite him or her to pull up a wicker chair and [...]
