Thre Actual Writing

I started with a time line for the story, then I wrote scene headings in index cards. When I had a rough idea of “what, when and who” in a notebook I wrote the whole story from beginning to end, without paying attention to grammar rules, format or style. Two days later I analyze the rough draft for flaws, change it and eliminated dialogue and scenes. One day later,I started to type the second draft, this time I corrected grammar and format, with the obvious help of the processors. English is my second language, some times I write things that don't make any sense. I use Open office to write, which is a open source word processor, just because I like the idea of using a free software, alternative to Microsoft Office ™ Take that Bill Gates ! But if you feel compel to get a writing software the is plenty in market.
