As you will have seen from previous post I have taken part in NaNoWriMo in November for the past 6 years, I have never took part in the April Camp NaNo event. This year I am going to, it is similar to November only, you set your own goals and depending on the genre you…
I have spent the last few weeks watching videos on Readers and eInk displays. I have a Kindle Scribe coming and today I have just ordered the Remarkable Paper Pro. A very expensive device and between the two that’s over 1k I have spent in a couple of purchases. I am banking a lot on…
