Well it doesn't do it automatically, if that's what you're thinking. LOL. But it really is worth to go through the whole tutorial because there is a TON of great features to the program. Oy! Yeah, I was sort of aiming for a button to do this. I did divide everything in scenes, but I'm also very lazy and, you know, if there's a quicker way of doing things, I'll take it. |

LOL. Well how would the program know where to divide it? Basically what you can do is you can put the cursor where you want a new scene and there's a keyboard shortcut (or go to the menu) and it will divide it.

That's not what I was referring to, but you've already answered my questions previously  |

Well, what I like to call draft 1.5 was completed last night and I sent it to one of the fine ladies here who I trust to read it over for me and give me her feedback. While she's doing that I will be converting the draft into Scivner to prepare it for further revision. It's so exciting and awesome to have that "completed" novel sitting on my iPad/PC. I can't wait for all of you to read it!  |

Lol. Not right now. Might do Spina bifida at one point, though. I'm really interested in congenital or inherited disorders and feel like most stories are about paras--not that there's anything wrong with those stories (I love SttS for example)-- I just like to dare to be different, lol. But who knows? Anything is possible! |

Sounds like an interesting idea Ximena. Too bad I had dibs on CP  i know, not a congenital disease, but its no para either |

Lol, but I'd include it though, since it presents from birth or in early childhood. And that's one reason I'm so psyched about Simon's story! (And one reason I loved Breath(e), too.)

I'm game for anything you choose. Maybe let the forumusers vote on it? |

LOL! Well, I need to get UnConventional finished and on the road to publication first, lol, plus I am considering a sequel to it if people like it, so obviously it will have the same character. I do have a few other ideas for books that I haven't settled yet on what the MC will have but let's not count chickens until they hatch as they say...  I'm actually considering doing a story with a gay MC - inspired a bit by Simon and also a book I'm reading right now. But again, that's just an idea right now since I want to focus on getting UnConventional completely done first. |

But who knows? Anything is possible! Oh. I'm only into SCI (as bad as saying this makes me feel), but you're right, there are more stories with paras than anything. I do have a theory on this phenomenon, though:D |

Lol. Well, I think there are a lot of people who like SCI, and I think that a lot more people are familiar with it (if only on a superficial level). I hope you'll consider reading my stuff anyway, though, lol! I often will read stuff with disabilities that don't do it or me a much as others bc I like to see different approaches... I also may eventually write a story with a Deaf hero... Tab keeps trying to convince me to, lol. |

Yes, I will definitely be reading your stuff The thing with SCI is fascinating for me because it spells an event. Like, the guy's life could've taken a turn or another and as much as I hate to admit it, I guess it has to do with being closer to the average definition of 'normal' - low level paras, I mean (able bodied or strong, as your dictionary suggested, right? ). So, the hypothetical wheeler was all 'normal' until something happened. And I also feel strangely interested in the emotional/psychological processes that happen with this transition (although I'm more interested in confident-in-their-own-body wheelers). With an illness, it's a bit different because as a child, not knowing what you miss makes you accept things a whole lot different. It probably sucks more, but your view on things is very different. Again, strangely enough, I'm into congenital blindness (or at least were...). |

It's ironic bc what you said is exactly the reason I prefer congenital - it's a very diff story/character, etc, if you're born w something vs being injured, and I'm drawn to that concept. |

It's funny to see the different views of both sides when they talk about who's off worse. I've played rugby with a lot of teammates that were para's. I thought they had it worse because they had to make the transition, they know what they are missing. I on the other hand don't know any better, so I don't know what I'm missing out on. The way they see it I'm off worse. At least they have had experience without a disability, and I have never known what it is to walk without problems. Both views sounds logical, but apparently better/worse is a very personal view |
