Just a note to say that the wife and I have once more taken a jaunt out to Colorado (you’d think we miss the place or something) for a friend’s wedding. Mountains. Dry air (fresh too). Sunshine. What’s not to like about this state?
Potential post tomorrow, depending on whether internet access holds. Typing this up on my little Dell Axim, with infrared keyboard. This thing is handy for traveling, so long as I remember the extra battery.
So there’s the writing question for the day. Do you have anything that let’s you write on the road? Are your vacations or business trips breaks from writing as well, or do you try to keep it going even then? Since I work on a desktop at home, this palm pilot/mini-keyboard setup is handy for me without getting a whole laptop, especially once I got software to transfer documents to and from Word, but what do you guys use to take it with you?
I see that smile.
I’m old fashioned. That’s a clever way of saying “cheap”. I don’t want to buy another gadget to cost me more money.. so I spent a dollar each on a pen and notebook, and I keep those with me. I also take my camera along, for better descriptions later.
Wait… I did say I wasn’t a writer before, huh? Shhh. I’m still not a writer, I just.. er.. journal.
I have no real problem with pens and notebooks. I usually have one in my pack or at home to scribble down random notes and ideas as they come to me. My issue is my atrocious handwriting. I’m often lucky if I can even read my own notes after too long.
Pen and paper – they are not subject to erratic electronic impulses.
If you hadn’t thrown that pencil across the room during the kindergarten handwriting lesson . .
Travel requires both laptop and yellow legal pads and just the right pen. I’m a pen addict, so just the right pen changes depending on which one I’m loving at the moment.
