Word

I only write in the program Word, because I can set up my spell and grammar checkers to help me move along within my work. If I need to leave the work for any reason the save icon works beautifully. There is an auto-save feature within Word so the program automatically saves your projects every 10 minutes if you forget to.

You need to have a strict schedule of time set aside during a time of day where you can focus on writing.  This does not mean you have to write on a daily basis for eight hours straight, it means that during a day you sit and write when you find the time. If you cannot get three hours in one day, no sweat there is always the next day. On occasion, I have saved the file, before I went to bed without closing it, so when I woke I picked up where I left.

As a single mom, I need to have a flexible schedule in which to work as parenting always takes precedence. If I need to take a few hours off, I save the file, which I am working and come back to it.   

Stay tuned for part 4
