Writing 'round the clock . . .

My new WisCon friend, Sean M. Murphy, to whom I will forever be grateful for mentioning that he reads the Death Pixies blog, is writing a novel at many times.  By which I mean he is writing as he has the opportunity and that happens to be at several o'clocks.  He's keeping track on a clock, to see if he can hit all 24 hours.  

I'm not that ambitious, but after reading an article recently (in the Gotham Writer's Workshop newsletter, I believe) that said that working writers should find their times and learn to use them, I'm certainly up for trying to write whenever, wherever.  It makes sense to learn to take advantage of any time you have, and I'm sure all of those "just a couple of minutes" will add up.

Unfortunately, this means I'll have to lug the laptop with me wherever I go, as writing by hand isn't really a good idea (I do like to be able to read my work).  Officially in the market for a messenger-style bag that'll haul the 'top, I guess.  Current options (backpack and office tote) are less than stellar. . . Oh, and shoulder rubs and hand/wrist massages are always welcome.  :)
