Just went over to [livejournal.com profile] novel_in_90 and read the userinfo. I'm very glad to hear 750 a day is consdiered a reasonable amount for a professional writer. I've been doing that in longhand every day (except for those days when I do 500 or 250 because my brain's gone freeze dried). So why have I been beating myself up? And why haven't I ever finished a novel in 90 days?

Answer: those 500 and 250 days + my novels are too long + doing other projects on the weekens. If I brought my novels in at 80-100k, eschewed other projects, and didn't write in longhand, maybe I, too, could do it.

I'm on my way to solving one of those problems. My Neo will be arriving midweek and I won't have to write in longhand on my lunches anymore. We'll see if it makes any difference.

Neo owners might be just a *smidge* infectious. :p

What is a Neo? (I know, I know, I shouldn't even ask--these things just make me feel bad since I can't afford them. But some day I might even own an iPod, or, gasp, a terminal large enough to show a whole piece of paper without having to scroll--who knows, miracles might happen.)

What have I missed? Gone a couple measly little months and you're getting your very own Keanu Reeves character to play with in the privacy of your own home???

That sounds about right.

Sounds like a solid plan. Forgive my ignorance, but what is a Neo?

That sounds pretty cool. And it would definitely solve the problem of writing longhand. :-)
