Jeanie Writes Genre

I just hooked up my Alphasmart and uploaded everything I've written on it in the last week. It came out to five pages, which is better than I expected. My total word count now stands at 52,550.

I'm sure the two of you who read this blog appreciate the updates. ;)

At-home writing has gotten easier since late last week when my husband and I finally hauled our sorry selves into the twenty-first century and acquired our very first mp3 players. I've had this thing for less than a week and I already don't know how I ever lived without it. Apart from being able to carry my entire CD collection in my pocket, which in itself is awesome, and apart from being able to load podcasts onto it to listen to while I do the more tedious aspects of my day job that take me away from my computer, I'm finding that the best thing about it is how it functions as a virtual office door. When my husband sees me typing with my earbuds plugged in, he doesn't interrupt me. Somehow, the typing alone was never enough to merit observance of my workspace, but typing PLUS earphones apparently means I'm really most seriously working and am not to be interrupted. Which is fine by me. I never would have achieved those five pages otherwise.
