lauren3210I finally, finally, have my laptop back, ohmygodddddd I'm so happy!
I punched the screen a few months ago, which somehow managed to both break the actual screen as well as disconnect some wire or something that caused the entire thing to just shut itself down and go "NOPE". So for the past couple of months, I've been having to use a tablet, spending ages typing one fingered comments and tweets and only being able to write anything of any substance when I've been able to get on the house computer. And it's been an absolute nightmare, not being able to just sit down whenever I want and write, but having to actually plan around other people wanting to use the computer (#first world problems). It's kept me a bit stymied, writing wise, and I've been struggling to write my stories for the fests I've signed up for because of it, because I'm so used to just sitting down and writing whenever the muse strikes.
But my husband, my darling, wonderful Ben, about whom I seem to spend at least eighty percent of my time complaining, got his genius little surgeon's hands stuck in there and replaced my screen and fixed the broken wire and fiddled around with the motherboard and the harddrive and lots of other computer type things that I have no idea of the names for, and then declared the surgery a success and my laptop LIVES!!!
So now, I am currently just over 30k into my story for the next fest on my list, and I actually have a chance of finishing it before the deadline! I spent all evening typing merrily away, and suddenly I'm feeling so much happier about my writing, and it's all because I can sit down whenever I want and just go at it.
*happy sigh* Sometimes, having a huge, overgrown 12 year old boy sharing your living space really does come in handy, who knew?
