I’m seeking inspiration: no one ever said that writing is easy. Try to write when you are not inspired by the content. Is that even possible. Sometimes you just need to jostle things around a little bit and hope things start to make sense. It’s like that now. I’m supposed to be writing something for work, but the thoughts are still mixing and stirring together. Eventually it will all flush out of my head in one explosive burst, and then voila: an article – but until then…

I’ve decided to write a book. Ok. So I’ve said that a million times before and I’ve tried – started – paused – lost it – nearly as many. However I think what I really need is motivation. The stories are there. The words seem to come together just fine whenever I sit down to a keyboard. I just need more motivation. I need to write something that interests me: whatever that might be. And I need to find somewhere to write. Location, location, location… isn’t that the mantra of.. well I don’t remember, but it works for me too. Right now my computer is sitting beside my television… which sucks really…but only as far as the typing thing goes. Try lying on the floor with a keyboard and you will discover how uncomfortable that can be.

I have tried to solve this with a simple addition to my digital collection: I bought one of those PDA/Handspring-things over Christmas. This is cool, simply because I have a word processor built into it. But try writing a novel letter by letter using one of those little stylus-things and you will rediscover the meaning of tedious… Hense, when the porta-keyboard I ordered off the internet arrives I will be able to explore the city and type when the urge strikes… it may look silly, but what doesn’t.
