The End

 

The End

Thank you for your support over the last three and a half years. After much (and hard) contemplation, I’ve decided to end the Apps for Writers blog. Many things have changed over the years in the world of publishing and technology.

My intention when I began the project was two-fold. I planned to teach others about all the wonderful things out there for writers. I wanted to cut through the overwhelming choices and show authors simple ways to use apps to enhance their writing. I think we did that, thanks to you.

I also hoped to convert the blog into teaching opportunities. But then COVID hit, and everything changed. I’m a teacher by nature and history. I have a master’s in education and taught computer technology to all age groups for twenty-five years. The fall of RWA and the lifestyle changes of COVID did not allow me to accomplish this angle of my goal.

Now in 2023, everything is video from YouTube to Reels to TikTok. Honestly, there’s a reason I’m a writer, not an actor. It’s not that I can’t do a video, but I have no energy or desire to produce videos for this content. So, we are ending.

Again, thank everyone for your support, comments, and help with the blog. I will leave the content up for reference and will still answer questions.

Here’s to our next journey.

 

Apps for Writers Survey

Hi. Thanks for your patience over the past few weeks. I love writing this blog, but it’s getting a little cumbersome lately. I’ve had few responses and zero comments. Also, I can no longer share the content in the same fashion as I have done previously. I’m worried I’m singing to an empty opera house.

I created a survey in Google Forms (yeah, I’ll do that app in a few weeks. *wink*). It’s a few questions about the relevancy and content of the blog. I threw in some questions about advertising options.

Please, if you are able, complete the form and let me know what you think, what you need, and what you want from Apps for Writers.

All the hugs,

Ginny

(I’m not collecting emails, just data. All responses are anonymous unless you chose to share your name. I won’t post anyone’s answers in next week’s blog without permission.)

 

 

A Short Hiatus

Apps for Writers will take a brief vacation for a couple of weeks. We will be back at the end of April with new apps and insights. In the meantime, perhaps visit some posts you may have missed.

Look for a survey about the blog and how we proceed with its content.
