| I never thought, before today, that a keyboard could make that big of a difference. Let me back up a bit. At first, I thought that my beloved Netbook, on which I accomplish all of my writing tasks, was dying. It's been a good run of just over 2 years, and I've used it heavily. Although I was saddened, I thought it was probably time. Funds dont' provide for a new one right now, and fixing it, I thought, would prove to be more expensive than a new one. As luck would have it, it was just the keyboard that had gone awry! A trip to the local Office Max has me back up and running on my favorite little red machine! It is interesting, though, that a keyboard can make such a difference in thought pattersns. I've had an idea for a new novel for a while now, but I haven't really been able to get much out about it. I had a basic idea and a couple of characters, but not much more. And I've sat on this idea for a while now. But now, with this new keyboard, it seems to just spring to life. Now I have more than a basic idea and 2 characters. I have 3 different regions and 2 completely differnt species of "people" who poulate those regions. I have the history of how they were all split up and what happened to cause the animosity and current social standing bewteen the two races.... I have a full story line; and it's one that I can work with and grow! Apparently, my new remedy for writer's block? Buy a new keyboard that feels and acts and sounds differently than anything you've had before. I don't know that it wil work every time, but it certainly has worked for this writer - at least this time! |
