The "one pounder" is a cool item and must be extremely portable (even though you write mostly from home).

Also I so agree about the writing pants (like others!) you just can't write if you aren't comfy! I can relate to the distraction of the Internet.

I have the same curiosity and interest for complexity, although my own life can be read as a book :)<br />I can't imagine how any writer any can be so cruelly judgemental. I thought writers understood each other, but thanks for sharing that story, Elizabeth. As an aspiring writer, that struck a chord with me.<br /><br />And thank you, readergirlz!

All I know is that I've been hooked on them ever since. She can't come out with new ones fast enough for me. I loved the writing process. The notecards, the folder full of stuff. And I WANT one of those little word processor things! It would keep me focused more on writing and less on FarmVille! <br /><br />Living Dead Girl is a difficult read, but it's a beautiful piece of literature. I read it about a year ago and it STILL RESONATES with me. It's interesting that Elizabeth got so upset over that review. My husband, also an author, had the same thing happen to his book in Idaho. He embraces that kind of stuff because for him, it's publicity. I think, if I were in Elizabeth's shoes, I'd react as she did, though.<br /><br />Awesome video! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928614895111353202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632611338168133022.post-38011364144573733942010-01-25T13:47:26.193-08:002010-01-25T13:47:26.193-08:00I completely understand the internet distraction. ...I completely understand the internet distraction.

I think she's the human equivalent of sunshine so seeing her upset over that review (which sounded to be more of a personal attack) made me quite teary.<br /><br />I finished Living Dead Girl last week and while it might not be to everyone's taste, it's incredibly well written and says something important. Isn't THAT what literature is all about?<br /><br />A big hug to Elizabeth and her supremely comfortable looking writing pants!Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025434037081684606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632611338168133022.post-5490705787820321602010-01-22T22:24:44.872-08:002010-01-22T22:24:44.872-08:00Oh, that is fantabulous.
