I noticed with the back-to-school sales already going on that my little Netbook computer I got on Black Friday is on sale for a pretty good deal -- but nowhere near my $179 steal. So I'm glad I got it when I did.
And why did I just have to have it?
It wasn't to check email and Facebook every morning over my bowl of high-fiber cereal. It wasn't so hubby could check his fantasy baseball team lineup when we're out of town in a hotel. It wasn't to "borrow" my friend's books from her Kindle account, either.
No, that's not why I got it. But that's definitely how I've been using it!
You might recall, though, that my argument for getting it was that I needed it. I could use it every day on the commute to and from work to write. And not just write anything. Write a book!
Yup, my memory was jogged when one of my sisters just asked me how the novel was coming along. Novel? What novel? Oh, THAT novel! Uhm, fine.
I did look on my computer tonight -- the big, normal computer, not the Netbook -- and see I have the beginning chapters of 3 very different books started. Very different story lines. Not even the same genres.
That's not a bad thing. One, that means I have plenty of stories to tell. And two, it means the hardest part is done. Seriously, starting is the hard part!
How do I choose which one to tackle first? That's easy. The one where I am well into Chapter 2. Doncha think?
I'm saving it on a flash drive -- because they are also on sale with the back-to-school supplies -- and plugging it in to my Netbook.
Now I just have to find that switch to turn on the creativity...
