(Of course, that was in the days before I’d spent much time with iA Writer and learned it was a better choice for writing this site’s posts. If the WIP is to have a future, it will be in Ulysses. I made very clear back in this site’s second-ever post (and still one of its most popular), “ Why I finally settled on Ulysses,” that the way my mind works simply meshes better with Ulysses than with Scrivener, however much I love good ol’ “Scriv.” That hasn’t changed, and - unless somebody reprograms me - isn’t going to change. ( : See the update at the end.)īut, you may still wonder, why bother to keep Ulysses active even if I know I’ll go ahead with the WIP? Haven’t I made it clear in multiple past posts that I have great affinity also for Scrivener and iA Writer, both of which I already own outright? (The subscription-haters among you may be yelling, “Hell, yeah,” at this point.) If, within the two weeks, I figure I was right, after all, to stop working on the WIP, I simply cancel the sub again before the trial ends. That was an unexpected benefit: it gives me that amount of time to see if I can get the WIP back on track. However, because I did let the Ulysses sub lapse a few weeks back, my reactivating the sub yesterday restored the two-week trial everyone gets on first installation. (It’s amazing how many fresh ideas come to your head when you drop a WIP for a while and then come back to it later.) No, I haven’t finally, utterly decided that I’ll go through with it. In this mode, it allows you to keep reading and, if desired, even exporting whatever Ulysses content you’d previously created.Īs a result, the only reason to keep the sub would be if I’d decided to un-abandon the WIP. Without the sub, Ulysses goes into a “read-only” mode. Oh, but wait: didn’t I say recently that I’d be letting my yearly Ulysses subscription lapse in May because I’d abandoned my years-long attempt to write a novel? After all, if there no longer was to be a work-in-progress (WIP), why keep paying for the main app I’d used to work on it? Please be nice to this old guy with Type A blood and keep your social distance but, otherwise, welcome (back?). So I’d guess I’m about to welcome even more traffic with this piece about what I sometimes call “Big U.” Hello, folks. Let’s face it: it’s reasonable to assume there are a lot more folks out there with a passion for writing, as compared to others who find getting down-and-dirty with SSGs a great way to spend one’s free time. Or, then again, maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised. Yep, to my surprise, this site consistently gets the most views, over time, for my articles that discuss that macOS/iOS creative writing app. And that subject is not related to static site generators (SSGs) or anything else similarly nerdy, despite the overall slant of most of the posts you’ll find here. Yet, they do.ĭata from both Google Search Console and Netlify Analytics make it clear that, while web traffic spikes come and go, the main reason why people visit this site has been its posts about one particular subject. They’re coming from two disparate sources which, originating from two completely different methods of gathering data, have no reason to agree.
