Scrivener break
At last I got around to purchasing Scrivener! I’ve been using Word for my poetry for the last five years, but it becomes more and more unwieldy as I write more. On top of that, Word 2016 doesn’t play nice with my Word 2011 files, so I have to keep using 2011 for everything to behave as expected. So it was time.
Since we’re almost at month’s end, and I’ve been distracted with new sounds and job interviews anyway, I’m going to take a couple of days to copy the contents of my current Word document into Scrivener, figure out how to use Scrivener as I go, and maybe get myself a bit more organized than I have been. So if you don’t see much going on here for the rest of this week, that is why.

Dear Tuesday,
Less than a month until summer—try to liven up a bit, okay?

The fading history of 1984 (a poem)
Found a JCPenney MCS 3543 cassette deck at Goodwill in Everett on Thursday afternoon. I couldn’t find a spot to plug it in and test it, but it was clean and appeared to be in good condition, and it was only about $15 (red tags were 30% off that day). The best part? REAL VU METERS with needles! By that time—the early 1980s—most new decks came with peak-reading LED meters. Anyway, I got around to trying it out, which put me in a 1984 frame of mind…
