off to the South-Wet
Aug. 26th, 2010 07:33 pmSending a wet Bank Holiday weekend in the South Wet. I think if any writing gets done it'll have to be whatever I can manage with fountain pen and dead tree, because I can tell there will be protests from my tendons if I use a flat keyboard for more than looking at my email.
It occurs to me as I type this that it might actually be worth my while buying a duplicate keyboard to stick in my travel kit. Of course, it would be useful to actually finish and sell something this year so that I have writing income from which to deduct business expenses... In fact, it might make sense to do that anyway, and use the new one as the primary, so that I have a UK keyboard at home as well as at the day job. It gets annoying on occasion to not have the pound sterling sign on this one. Then I can put the old US keyboard in the travel kit.
I'd spend some of the free time this weekend looking at the short story markets to see if there's a likely home for a couple of things already on the hard drive, but I will be bandwidth-challenged. I should probably add a PAYG broadband dongle to that list of things I can and should buy as a business expenditure item. Must ask![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
heleninwales for details of hers, because my usage pattern is that it would get used quite intensely for a few days every 2 or 3 months, and no use in between, so I need a tariff geared to that.
