Trying to improve conditions for writing
All I've written lately is brief LJ entries, comments on other people's LJs, and snippets in my notebook (some of them dubious quotes from the material I'm proofreading, such as "Bi flora: there's nothing like it").
But I was IMing with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
barberio the other night, and he mentioned a wordcount, and somehow that inspired me to something resembling action (papersky's incredible recent wordcounts have inspired awe but not imitation). I now have, at least, a hardcopy of the (small bit of) one of the works-that-I'd-like-to-be-in-progress, and have tucked it into my notebook.
I even took it with me when I went to sit outside this afternoon after eating my sandwich. I then spent a profitable but not relevant ten or fifteen minutes watching ants crawl around. (By the nature of this story, any non-human species I can observe in the present is probably irrelevant to it.)
Anyone have a good books/reading/writing icon they'd be willing to share?
