I love, love, love my...

I love, love, love my...

I love, love, love my Alphasmart 3000. Light enough and non-heat-producing enough to use comfortably on my lap; battery life lasts forever; nothing to do on it but write.

I had this fabulous day back in December. I dropped off my sweetie at work, then I went to a coffeeshop and sat outside by the lake. I wrote until I was hungry, ate lunch, then went back to writing. I typed “the end” just as it was time to go pick up the hubby, and I had a 5000-word short story. I want every day to be like that.
