Computer! Argh!

Thank God for internet access at my "day job". Writing is so difficult when your computer dies in the middle of a chapter. Thankfully, I saved the first eleven chapters of the Sacrifice re-write, so I only lost chapter twelve. It was enough.



My laptop, which is the only computer I have with enough brain power to be internet-friendly, started making a sound like a meat grinder filled with gravel, then everything just...stopped. To say that I'm alarmed is a drastic understatement. It's a terrible pity that my writing has become so dependent upon digitized monsters. I wrote the first book in long hand, filling up two college-ruled, five-subject notebooks that I carted with me literally everywhere. Now it seems I've forgotten how to write without a keyboard. Based upon the self-mastication of my laptop and my currently woeful finances, I think I'm going to have to relearn.
