On Life and Love

LyX

I moved my story from MS Word to LyX (after moving from Google Docs to MS Word two nights ago after hours of flaky Internet), and my word count increased by 4%-ish. That’s worrying, because I can’t find what’s making it increase. In fact, it seems to be counting fewer things as words than Word did.

LyX is rather hot. The PDF output of my story (in the “book” document class) is hot. It looks like a book. 🙂 Plus, near-plain text is sexy, and there are fewer things for me to distract myself with in LyX. Fewer buttons and animated things.

If I need a distraction, though, there are always short blog posts about writing and the NaNoWriMo forums, which are hopping right about now.

In other news, I’m taking WO to the airport in a couple of hours, and then I get the house to myself until Friday. Aside from the obligatory male stripper party, what’s a woman to do at home all alone?

    A sailor suit? Honestly. *shakes head* Stewie is too cute.

    How do you find these things, Michael? *laugh*

    I assume that was a Benny Hill reference? I haven’t seen much Benny Hill, but I think I recognized the background music as a parody of his.
