The iPad: a writer’s toolbox?

thebookwright — Sat, 29 May 2010 07:58:49 +0000

It’s arrived at last and it was definitely worth the wait. My decision not to buy one of the excellent ereaders like the Kindle or the Cool-er has proved to be right. My e-Writer has arrived in the form of an iPad.

From a creative writer’s perspective, just being able to read on the go is less [...]

The Quantum Collapse of Thought

thebookwright — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:32:54 +0000

We spend virtually all of our days not giving a second thought to something which is vitally important … and that’s our thoughts.

iMindmap version 4 is now available and has some enhanced features that are really useful in the creative writing process. Audio notes
