I do all of my writing at night after my kids go to bed, since that’s when I actually have time. I was hoping to get some daytime writing in on the weekend, but only wound up able to squeeze in about an hour and a half at the library on Saturday.

I’ve been using Google Drive, since I’ve been switching between my desktop (PC) and laptop (aging Macbook) and find that a universal, cloud-based solution is more convenient than fucking around with a flash drive/converting files/etc. This was sort of problematic at the library, however, since their internet connection is spotty at best. It all worked out in the end, except for when my laptop decided in a fit of pique to blare music at top volume through both its speakers and my headset, causing me to scream in horrified agony while punching any and all available volume buttons and blanching under the baleful looks of the other patrons while my eardrums spurted blood.

So, yeah, it turns out that weekends aren’t particularly great times to write, either, since life still happens. And that’s okay.

Hypothesis: there are no perfect times to write, so get over it.

Plans for this week: set up a workstation in my garage to write from. My lovely wife already set one up for me, but it’s been neglected. I think I could have a fairly nice, secluded setup back there…

Thanks for reading.

This weekend’s writing was brought to you largely by the Dubstep station on Pandora Internet Radio.
