So I like to use both writing by hand and on the computer. I'm glad my work is helping you with your own writing.

She journals and writes everyday too. I used to write on my computer but have found writing in journals by hand works much better because I can write anytime and anywhere. I've filled volumes of journals and keep them numbered and dated. I read your book on writing: Plotting the Character-Driven Novel, and learned about keeping notes on the book I'm writing. I look forward to reading your new book: Revising the Character-Driven Novel next year. Your mysteries have helped me as well. I love reading your blogs; they always have insightful ideas. Happy holidays.
