Software....

I spent a bit going through my CDs today, trying to determine what I never use.

Like my Campaign Cartographer2, CC2Pro, and City Designer2.

I paid a lot for these (before I started writing for publication, actually) but I never use them, which makes me sad. I acutally did learn to use the first one, and used it to do a nice map or two.....but CC2Pro turned out to be more complex, and I never found the time to learn it.

And I don't know if anyone would buy them, either....so there they sit, in all their expensive glory, ignored in my closet.

Buyer's remorse.

I tried drawing maps using a computer, and it was such hard work that I roped my boyfriend into drawing one for me. The software is rather harder to learn than you'd imagine.

Oh, and you can't imagine the pile of writing software I have, which I paid good money for--and never used because it was just too much hassle. The only one I use on a regular basis is Freemind, and that cost me nothing.

And I was too lazy to do more than look over Freemind....

Exactly my problem....so I never use this stuff. Sadly, I think I paid about $170 all told.
