Scapple for Windows Beta Available

Literature & Latte, the makers of Scrivener, have announced as of just a few minutes ago that Scapple for Windows is available in beta form.

Scapple is almost a mind-mapping application, but rather than forcing you into a radial spread out from a central node configuration, Scapple is freeform notetaking with connections you define. 

I'm downloading the beta as I write this, and will post again with my thoughts and impressions. 

You can get the details and the Scapple for Windows beta itself at L&L's site

Robert J. Sawyer Workshop

Today I had an awesome experience at Robert J. Sawyer's ​"A Thematic Approach to Science Fiction" workshop. I'm still processing everything I took in, so the next update to The Price of Entanglement is tomorrow.

I'd fully intended to take pictures and post a bunch of stuff about this, but it was such a good experience that I was sucked in and thinking the whole time, which didn't leave me any time for stray thoughts like snapping pictures.​

If you're into writing at all and you ever get the chance to attend one of his workshops or lectures, do it. Rob's a charismatic and funny speaker​ with a wealth of knowledge to share. I highly recommend it.
