iPad for Writers

Right before Christmas, the Lord blessed my husband with a free iPad. I had been wanting one since they were announced. Instead of keeping it for himself, he shared it with the family.

I use it more than anyone else in the family. (I think they are being nice.)

Although the iPad is fun to play with, I mainly wanted to use it for writing. At first, I was getting discouraged because I couldn't find any writing apps that worked for me, and typing on it turned out to be another challenge.

Now that I have had more time with it, I haven't really used the laptop or desktop. Once you find the right apps, you are pretty much set. As for typing, it gets easier as you continue to use it.

Here are some of the apps I use:

- Pages
- Keynotes (for creating book trailers)
- Docs To Go (premium)
- Printer Pro
- neu.Notes

If you have any apps to recommend, I'd love to know about them.

Back To Writing!!!

After the holidays and several birthdays, it has been nice getting back to working on my third book.

Right now, the main character and his friends are praying fervently. It draws me into worship.

I am praying that all the emotions that go into writing this series transfers into the story, so the readers will feel that they are on the journey.

Happy reading and writing!

Blessings - Kimberli
