Technology as a manual lifestyle

by Scot Herrick on April 27, 2007

writingWhen all else fails, technology can be simply paper, pencil, and a great booth at your favorite restaurant.

As a perfect illustration of technology in motion, I offer you Alison Kent’s post called “Wrapping up the book…” In it, she describes all the places in her manuscript where she simply put in things like “NAME OF BRIDGE?” so that she could go back and put in what needed to be put in place.

To describe it all, she engages her husband by drawing a picture of what the plot is all about — and he does the same with a timeline.

See, it’s not about the particular technology. It’s about the right technology to communicate with your readers. Or, in this case, your husband to help you in your writing.

Enjoy your weekend.
