I feel like I've said this before. My memoir has half a chapter devoted to my adoration of the internet, so I suppose it only makes sense that I'd talk about it here. Yesterday I tried to find an adapter for my AlphaSmart but the man at the store said they don't exist.

I just realized my AlphaSmart has been in my home for almost two weeks and I still haven't talked about it. I was waiting to give it a test drive until my friend left, so a couple days ago I fed him and parked on the sofa.

Talking to writers always fascinates me.  I enjoy hearing about everything from where writers get their ideas to their favorite places to write.  Some writers only conceive new chapters at the computer.  Some prefer the portable word processor, the Alphasmart.  Personally, I really connect using my favorite brand of pens and a large, hard cover journal with lined pages.

Yesterday we drove to Phoenix to attend an 8-year-old's birthday party. I took my Alphasmart with me, to write up a few things on the long drive. I have the Alphasmart Neo, bought secondhand off eBay, and it's a very handy contraption. As a student (eons ago), I was famous for the speed at which I scribbled down notes during lectures.

It’s been quite a ride the last few days. And yet, I feel that there is very little to report. However, to keep myself accountable for the project I am working on, I am obligating myself to share a status report with anyone who actually reads the stuff I write here.
