I am a graphic designer. I only use Word to manage copy (keystrokes) to paste into my layout programs. I have designed a letterhead and the client wants to be able to open the new design in Word, type a letter on it and print or email it out. I can’t make heads or tales of the tools and creating something custom, like a template is like watching a foreign film… without the subtitles. I am a Mac man and this challenge is frustrating!

See, I had to cheat a little — they pass the test if you’re *just* looking at the television series.

Yes! (Although they, admittedly, don’t pass the “one of them doesn’t die” test.)

Laurie R. King does a really, really good job with the first two of her “found” Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes novels. After that, not so much, but those first two? Actually helped pull me into the story.

Nano write-ins can be bad, because people chat, and someone’s always trying to start a word war. I went to one once where someone was trying to do prompts and I wanted to throttle the person. With an online community, it’s easier to tune out things that aren’t helping you.

That said, I don’t mind the occasional in-person group, but I’ve been having issues finding one with people at the same skill level/goals as me.

Thanks. My closest brush has been a NaNoWriMo write-in, and I just found it distracting. Maybe I should reconsider.

It was a spin-off of a challenge community I was in at the time, so I already knew the people and knew I got along well with them. Over the years, people have come and gone, and the level of activity has varied, but it’s still a good place to hang out and get some support, and there’s usually someone around if you need to plot something out or want some company in getting some work done.

What made you go with the one you use predominantly?

I do. I have a core one I’ve belonged to for almost seven years now, and then sometimes I’ll participate in other ones for awhile to meet specific goals or needs.
