“The foxes dance beneath the moon”

Beautiful!

As for dictating, it seemed difficult until I got the hang of it, (best done alone so other stop asking you what you said!) It took me about a day and a half to get comfortable, and then I was surprised at the speed. A trick is to do a particular chapter is to just say what your mind forms, and then go back and check punctuation. You will then have something shaped that you can then make changes to with both ease, and greater creativity. It is easier to make changes and do so with great clarity once there is something on the page. I found I could do a chapter in as little as a day, and then use a few days to refine and polish it, often seeing a better line and very little writer’s block. I also found my imagination seemed sharper and more ‘colorful’ when the restriction of my fingers was bypassed.

I have everything, including the software, but haven’t used it yet...I may try someday.
