Magda-Chr... (2:27)

So, while I'm still all for the idea (winner by default, every time! haha), I'm not sure if everyone else will agree ^_^

Magda-Chr... (3:32)
2 years ago 0 + -I still want to, but I'm realizing that instead of the majority of my novel being typed and the rest handwritten, it's going to be closer to 50/50 handwriting and typed on the typewriter. But that's okay. It's still an adventure not using the computer (which, actually, i'm pretty sure I'll end up using by the end of the month anyways ^_^)

2 years ago 0 + -lol, last year's day one I was stuck in the car for 4 hours so I had nothing better to do than write and count words.
Magda-Chr... (2:21)
2 years ago 0 + -heh, I have a 2 hour car ride this weekend and I was thinking of doing the same thing. However, wasn't your handwriting all bumpy and shakey cause of the car moving?
Ape-X (4:22)
2 years ago 0 + -The best concerts are the ones you don't know the act, 'cause then they really blow you away. I was introduced to M Ward this way. It was awesome!

2 years ago 0 + -Yeah Phoenix and Tucson are not exactly all that close!!
Magda-Chr... (3:54)
2 years ago 0 + -coming from phx and going to school in tucson, i've made the trip countless numbers of times. The more and more I do it, the shorter and shorter it becomes.
gamwyn (4:11)
2 years ago 0 + -haha they rock!!
gamwyn (5:02)
2 years ago 0 + -Stuff at concerts is expensive!!
Magda-Chr... (5:02)
2 years ago 0 + -This one actually wasn't too bad (it was pretty small, though). $13 for tickets, $12 for cd, $13 for shirt (which is really good seeing as that i've payed $25 for concert shirts before). The sweatshirt I really wanted was $25.
gamwyn (5:32)
2 years ago 0 + -Yeah I always bring my notebook around with me for times when there's not quite time/room/whatever to haul out the laptop.
gamwyn (5:48)

2 years ago 0 + -Haha, yes, that's a great comparison!
Dreamgirls (1:48)
2 years ago 0 + -No worries! Like you said, we have a whole month to celebrate so there's lots of times to write.
Dreamgirls (2:24)
2 years ago 0 + -Have you tried the scanners at school in the computer lab or at the library or somewhere? My boss has a scanner that came with software so when she scans her handwritten documents, it can turn them into word docs to edit (in this case you could use it for counting your words).
Dreamgirls (3:23)
2 years ago 0 + -That's good work! I did about the same yesterday.
