New Toy for Life Writers

My writing time yesterday and today went into writing web code rather than words, and I just finished building a new toy. Technically I guess it’s called a widget. My very first widget. I’m so excited!

The tips change daily, so be sure to come back often to find a new one, and if you have a blog connected with life writing of one sort or another, please be my guest. This is a toy that’s made to be shared. Just follow the link at the bottom, copy the code, and paste it into your sidebar.

Hopefully I’ll soon learn what it would take to add it as a gadget to Vista desktops. How cool would that be, to have a Life Writing Tip of the Day right there in your sidebar?

This idea sprang to mind a few months ago. I have lots of ideas like that, and it’s rare that I actually bring one to fruition like this, so this is extra cause for celebration. Actually, it’s not unlike all the story ideas floating around that I think about writing, but there’s only so much time.

Remember that Flavia card I found a couple of posts ago? This widget is like those words. And now that I’ve got my mind cleared out, I’m ready to write stories again and start putting those tips into practice.

Write now: about ideas you’ve had that you did or did not implement. What stories have you thought of and not written? Are they on your Story Idea List?
