Resolutions
May 16th, 2007
My iBook died last week. I’ve had very little free time with a connection as a result. Yesterday, on my way to pick it up from the shop (the logic board had died, I’m so glad I got the 3 year warranty) I started thinking about what I’d done with the time I didn’t have the computer.
It was shockingly well spent, causing me to think, for the 800th time, that computers are as much a curse as blessing when it comes to getting things done. Sure, it’s easy to say I couldn’t write as fast without one, but I would almost certainly be writing more. The worst is the RSS feed. That thing just kills my free time.
What did I do while you were all writing your Slash/Slash fiction? I read, a lot, mostly the pile of magazines and half finished books that sit in the living room. I also planned several things that I wanted to write. In general, I just felt that my time was getting sucked away less. That might also be because I’m no longer on the night shift. And then the computer came back, and it was back to life as usual on the highways that man built…
I’d love to say I’m back, but me saying I’m sitting down to write more is like the Russian roulette scene in The Deer Hunter.
