Stepcase Lifehack Desktop to iPad Blogging Workflow with Scrivener, Elements, Dropbox, and Marked One of the keys to a good life hack isn’t just finding the right technology to do the job, but actually finding the right combination of technologies to get the job done. Many of you wonder how us writer folks keep our writing projects on track and in sync, regardless of the where or when we’re doing our writing (sometimes we wonder ourselves, actually). I’ll tell you sometimes it’s not easy, until you find—and set up—the right apps and services to make things all come together. This post is all about how to go from your desktop to iPad and back and keeping everything a couple clicks away from being ready to publish online. The first, and most essential, part of this whole system is Dropbox. Next thing is the file format. With the foundations in place (Dropbox and text files), let’s move onto the actual writing part. The next part for the writing on the go element is, actually, Elements. The last bit of magic is Brett Terpstra’s app Marked (sorry Mac only).
Edgar the storyteller Apprenez à créer avec GIMP 2.8 ! "Apprendre Gimp, c’est trop difficile !" Combien de fois j’ai entendu cette phrase-là ! Beaucoup pensent qu’il est plus difficile d’apprendre Gimp à cause de son interface atypique qu'il a toujours eu et dont les utilisateurs de Windows ne sont pas habitués. Vous voulez apprendre le graphisme 2D, que ce soit pour pouvoir faire de la retouche photo, du webdesign ou des montages ou encore de la peinture numérique ? Et tout ça, à partir de zéro ! Des tutoriels séparés où on apprend un outil ou un truc, c’est bien, mais un cours structuré à jour pour apprendre pas à pas, c’est mieux et d’ailleurs, les besoins pour ce type de cours sont criants. Qu’apprendra-t-on dans ce big-tuto ? Dans l’optique de commencer à partir de zéro, je vais commencer par vous apprendre les bases essentielles à connaître, de la prise en main de l’interface jusqu’aux calques et sélections, en passant par les outils de peinture.

A plot is the sequence of narrative events as witnessed by the audience. 2. Some folks will ask, incorrectly, “What’s the plot?” 3. A plot functions like a skeleton: it is both structural and supportive. 4. The biggest plot crime of them all is a plot that doesn’t make a lick of goddamn sense. 5. The simplest motherfucker of a plot is this: things get worse until they get better. 6. Fiction is driven by characters in conflict, or, put differently, the flame of fiction grows brighter through friction. 7. Of course, the essence of the essential conflict — the one below all that Wo/Man versus stuff — is a character’s wants versus a character’s fears. 8. A plot grows within the story you’re telling. 9. 10. Plot offers the promise of Chekov and his gun, of Hitchcock and his bomb under the table. 11. 12. 13. 13. 14.
Thot Cursus Schriftsteller-werden Plot Development: How to write the climax and ending of your novel. by Glen C. Strathy* Plot development is something you should think about after you have written a brief plot outline (Part 3). Many writers, especially pantsers, don't like to think about how their plot develops until they've written most of the first draft, preferring to let the ending evolve organically out of what comes before. I believe, however, that you can save yourself a lot of time and effort in the long run by making a few decisions about how your plot develops and the nature of your story early on.

You may find this hard to believe, but – without at all becoming formulaic – story endings generally fall into four different categories. To make the first choice, you need to know your Story Goal or Problem, which is the foundation of your novel's plot. If the answer is no, then in classical terms, your novel will be a tragedy. 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. (E.g. 2. (E.g.
