“I have never ever written anything in the bath before. Paper gets damp and steamy, pens won’t write upside down, typewriters hurt your tummy, and if you are prepared to use a PowerBook in the bath, then I assume that it isn’t your own PowerBook.” Douglas Adams, “The Little Computer that Could (collected in The Salmon of Doubt)
Not to sound spiteful, but it’s always nice to see other places getting snow. I feel guilty for my area taking it all most of these winters. It’s a good thing no one can see how I’m not holding a straight face through that.
I totally got iced in my the same storm in Oklahoma. Got trapped in a motel room with my laptop for like four days. Got a lot done. So i guess that was my writers weekend… without the cabin, or hottub
Agatha Christie used to write in a bath tub, if I remember it correctly. She had a wooden removable ’shelf’ to put her typewriter on (again, if I remember it correctly). I didn’t dare to bring our old typewriter in, and ditto for paper or laptops as above.
Do they make waterproof laptops or Alphas or such yet?
(I think sailors use a special silver-tipped pencil and – hmm, what?)
Oh how I relate to getting new ideas for new stories instead of working on old ones!
You’re too cute! Looks like you had a nice time
) Wish I had a hot tub here ;o( Nice job for your first one ;o) Can’t wait to hear the new ideas!!

This is too cute! And I need to get in on this writer’s weekend action. That’s such a great idea.
