Though at the moment, there's a lot of extra stuff crammed into the corners and stacked all over.

We thought about moving it to the solarium, but I knew I had other things I could do with the down time. Of course, by the end of two weeks, I might be tearing my hair out. ; ) I'll let you know.

Otherwise, I'm on my own with paper and pen. Though to be fair, I'm a long hand drafter from way back.

I do like to write long hand so I can do that if it's a longer time frame. Fortunately, I also have a netbook and since everything is on dropbox I can access it anywhere. That's for drafting though. Editing/rewriting I really do like my desktop with two monitors so I can have multiple documents up at once. Fortunately, my hubby is as addicted to the computer and internet as I am so if we had work to do in the room with the computers he would just move them and set them up somewhere else. A lot of things, music, TV, phone, run through our computers/internet so we wouldn't like to be without them for too long. S.P.

If not that, I'd cling to the kindle. If not that, well, I'm afraid I'd have to resort to the cell phone. What a world we live in, eh?Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.com
