I’m taking a page from my friend James’ (hi, Boo!) book this weekend: I’m turning off the computer, unplugging it, and putting it in the drawer until Sunday night. Yes, really. No, I mean it.
Stop laughing. I’m not above slapping you.
I’ve finished the revisions of chapter eight, so I’m diving into chapter nine this weekend. A Bitch and I are meeting for a Day of Writing® at an undisclosed location on Sunday. I’ve printed out the bits and pieces that I need to slice and dice in order to make them (hopefully) coherent. I had a couple ideas this evening while waiting for Wade Rouse’s reading to begin (which was excellent, by the way), and while I wouldn’t go so far as to say they were “Blair-Warner-I’ve-just-had-an0ther-one-of-my-brilliant-ideas” brilliant, I think they’ll work. Whatever I write (longhand) this weekend, I can type up during the week next week. But I stay tethered to this infernal machine too much as it is.
If anyone starts taking bets on whether I go into withdrawal before Sunday night, well, you can just go straight to hell. (Save me a seat? Thanks.)

Hey, Boo!
I’m actually on the computer this weekend, but only for an hour or so to work on my font designs. I hope your weekend sans computer is successful!

I’m going computer-free for an entire week while I’m with the kids at their violin institute. I hope we both make it!
