My Life in (Technological) Exile

Hallooooo blogosphere! My computer is still dead, which may sound obvious, but it's made miraculous ressurections before. I've started my 'Gawd, how I need new tech!!' fund, but it'll be a while yet. Beyond that, I'm fine save a lingering bit of a cold & nearly succumbing to actual cold outside. I don't know where you live, gentle reader, but it's a startling realization when it occurrs to you that you could climb into your own deep freeze & be warmer (by something like 25+ degrees!) than it is outside! Yikes! I hope if you're in the clutches of this as well you're out there somewhere with extra socks, lots of cocoa & a nice blanket.

I've been trying to make some ground on my story, but I just can't seem to get the same momentum going with a pen & paper as I do when I type. Does anybody else have this as well? A preferred format where things just flow or one where everything is a complete slog? I'm trying, I've been working on little details rather than the whole picture in the hopes that it'll jog things. I've also done a little sketching because sometimes for me, it's helpful to be able to actually look at a char. I shall perceviere & I hope wherever you are, your pieces are going well.

Missing my computer...and the lovely rhythm of clicking keys...and talking to all of you.

I can write either way. I do prefer the computer though, just based on the fact it's about 4 times faster! =)

There is always the library. I used theirs one day in November when I was having all those computer issues. I just email myself what I've written...which is nice in and of itself because you have a saved copy you can access from any computer with an internet connection.

Glad to see you, my friend! It's been too long! =) And big writerly hugs...
