Picture Book Den: Three Ways Authors Can Get the Most Out of their Computers • Jonathan Emmett

http://picturebookden.blogspot.com/2015/08/3-computer-tips-for-authors.html

Monday, 3 August 2015. Three Ways Authors Can Get the Most Out of their Computers • Jonathan Emmett. I don't think I'd have made it as a professional author without a computer's help. A question children often ask me on school visits is “do you write with pen and paper or on a computer? I’ve just gone without my computer for a week, while a faulty hard-drive was replaced. This absence reminded me how much I’ve come to depend on my computer and prompted me to write this post. First and foremost …. Macs ca...
