edenfallingI have a new Geek Squad appointment for 8:15am on Friday.
This one had better work out.
...
I think I might try writing fic longhand tonight, just for kicks. I've actually never written much in longhand. Even when I was writing godawful original fiction in elementary school, I used a computer -- we had this crazy old school Atari 800 with the CPU in the keyboard and a separate floppy disk drive that could only run one program at a time, and to switch programs you had to turn off the computer, put in a new floppy disk (and sometimes a cartridge as well), and then restart the whole thing. I taught myself to touch type when I was about 10 or 11 because I was so sick of not being able to keep up with my own thoughts.
I will often start a story in longhand, if an idea hits me at 2am in the morning, or somewhere away from a computer, but I don't usually write more than 100-1000 words before I type it up. The only thing I regularly write longhand all the way is poetry.
Come to think of it, I haven't written any poems for about two years now. That is very odd; I used to write at least one every two to six months.
Stupid prose, absorbing all my creative efforts. *grin*
