So my 2011 MacBook Pro fizzled the other night and it’s at the computer repair shop where they tell me it will probably be about five to seven days BEFORE they can even look at it since they’re backlogged. I could have taken it somewhere else but these same guys upgraded the hard drive to an SSD two years ago and made it work like new.
Of course, the body of my poor MBP isn’t the greatest anymore; the keyboard no longer works and the battery was starting to bulge which rendered the trackpad useless which means I’ll probably end up needing a new Mac. I do have an HP laptop but since all my writing/publishing apps are iOS based, I’m not bothering to use that one.
Yesterday, I typed 4K words on my Freewrite typewriter in a re-edit of The Replacement Fiancée and today, I’m working on my current WIP again, The Other Side of Love online using Plot Factory.
Plot Factory is an online story planner that can help you get your story from idea to completed story. You can even listen to a narration of your story if you’d like which is a great way to self-edit your story as you go.
They have a free plan but I’m using the Novelist plan ($10/month or $100 a year) to make use of all the features.
And with me being without my MacBook where I write, outline, and format all my books, Plot Factory is just what I need. I was already using it before my MacBook died as you can see from the dashboard below but even better, the app works perfectly on my iPad as well and that’s where I’m continuing Sarah and Benny’s story.
So if you’re looking for a tool to help you get your writing organized, check out Plot Factory. I’m not getting paid to say this, by the way. I just think it’s an awesome tool for writers and it’s one that’s saving my butt right now and helping me meet my deadline.
Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!

The best endorsements are the ones that come with no strings attached. Should I ever long to become a novelist, ill investigate this program more thoroughly.
Btw, sounds like it’s time to get a new MacBook. Why spend money on such an old machine?

True. They’re going to look at it and there’s no charge for that but I did break down and order an iMac this time because I never went anywhere with my MacBook and I’d rather have the bigger capacity for the same price. Before I had LilDude I took my MacBook everywhere but now, when I travel, I take my iPad and Logitech keyboard with me. I should be getting the iMac next week!
