Download or read book Tutorial for Free Writer s Tool Kit written by Larry C. Carlson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JUMP - START YOUR WRITING. Whether you start a project by jotting notes on paper; recording your thoughts on a voice recorder, or composing on the keyboard - whether you are a writer, a student, an employee or business owner; or just enjoy seeing your ideas in print: if you produce any volume of writing at all, you will appreciate the benets of the TUTORIAL FOR FREE WRITER'S TOOL KIT. This unusual tutorial was not written to teach authors how to write. It was written for anyone who is dissatisfied with their "typing" ability or who simply wants to improve their efficiency to produce results when composing at their PC or Tablet using (r)Microsoft Operating Systems (r)Vista, (r)Windows 7, (r)Windows 8 or 8.1, (r)Windows RT, or (r)Windows 10. We will help you unlock some of the FREE Microsoft applications that are already part of your operating system: including (r)Windows Speech Recognition, as well as other productive Microsoft and FREE Non-Microsoft applications. We will provide you with a road map to help you avoid some of the potholes and detours that are encountered in learning to navigate these applications. You will expand your knowledge; learn new skills; and with practice you will become more productive while at the same time keeping your costs to a minimum. For many the cost of this tutorial; and possibly a microphone or headset for under $20.00 - coupled with a sincere desire to learn will develop new skills enabling them step by step to produce quality documents with enhanced features by using virtually FREE applications introduced and expanded upon in the Writers's Tool Kit. Windows Speech Recognition currently supports Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), English (U.S.), English (U.K.), French, German, Japanese and Spanish. This tutorial has not been translated into any of those languages. A multi lingual English speaker proficient in any of the above languages and skilled in using Microsoft Windows Speech Recognition and familiar with this tutorial would find it very helpful in assisting a speaker of another language in learning Windows Speech Recognition in their own language, and using the other tools in this tutorial .

But more than that, he argues that the journey towards a final manuscript is as important as the finished article itself.His approach works: many of Richard's students have gone on to secure publishing deals and many more have left his courses with work to be proud of. With its balance of warmth and wisdom, Writing a Novel will give any aspiring writer the confidence to face the blank page -- and to fill it.

Finding your essential information and tools, when you need them. How Writers Write If I write, I start, and soon get into the 'flow'. Then I need a bit of information or a tool.
