Writing and Laptops

Writing

I have a writing fantasy. I used to produce decent short pieces that my college professors deemed skillfull. (Which dates my "used to" to a time frame that hails from over a decade ago). I still think I could write decently in short form. I've dreamed of writing something more novel or novella though. The problem is, writing is too hard. Lol. At least, succeeding at it is. I think I would lose the dream trying to reach the reality. Authors put in so much work. And then there is all the technicality to it. How things have to be to be deemed publishable. It seems to me a story should just be what pours from the authors thoughts, imagination. But then it has to be twisted to meet dialogue requirements. Appropriate cut ins for sub plots. Sentence "art" as I call it such as Bringing Bumbling Bees Bountiful Bouquets. Accommodating for all this Bumps my creativity off its Block. So it's unlikely I'll ever see my name printed down a literary spine. But a girl can still dream.

Laptops

Man, I wish I had a laptop. I might actually try my hand at writing - very, very, slowly - something of interest. At the very least I would create characters worth writing about. But it doesn't work inside my home. My home houses real life. But right outside my door? Freedom. Thought. Boundless possibilities. But no computer.
