dialyn, you may have hit the nail on the head! I think right now that I'm more interested in playing with software so I'll have a good reason not to just sit down and actually write. (shame on me!) And, of course, when I finally do write, I can blame all my failures on the program. I haven't heard of the program you use: NotePad and Pen? Is it expensive? Is it Mac or PC? (I'm being silly... sorry) -Perry
