I don't need to copy and paste. It allows me to write right in the box. I can also search the web just by talking. I only even really need to touch the keyboard when I need to correct something. Everything else has voice commands.

That... is absolutely brilliant. I didn't even know technology was so capable!

I've written about 1K now. Slow.. but steady progress!

yeah it's amazing right! I didn't know it was capable of it either!

my family celebrated Christmas late this year, since my mom was in the hospital.we just handed out gifts last night I also got a really cool scanner. The scanner wand that allows his scan anything. I could scanned fabric if I wanted to, hell I'm pretty sure I could scan a face. I'm really excited about that one to!

Having worked with one of those old school scanners for two years, I can't even begin to describe how envious I am.

My family doesn't do Christmas, so the few presents I did get from non-family sources was food. Lots of food. Chocolates. Which I appreciated (and promptly ate) because chocolate is kind of a super-special-happy food group of its own.

I agree! Chocolate is the best. I actually really really want some right now. Yes, its about 7:30 am here, but i've been up since 4am so it doesnt really feel like breakfast time.

I know exactly what that feels like - but my vice is coffee. The nine months when I completely quit coffee was possibly the worst nine months of my life so far (there's probably no real correlation, but I'm blaming the lack of caffeine! And lesson learned!)

And it's almost midnight, so I guess it's a night for me. Have a great Friday!

I used to be the same way when i was your age. (wow that makes me sound so old) but no seriously, I was. Took a year but i had myself trained to eat no more then 500cals in a week, which was just enough for me to function. Got down to 110lbs and stayed like that for a year and a half. Loved the way i looked hated the way i felt though.

I'm trying to loose all the weight i gained now, but a much more healthier way this time. If i knew back that if i stopped that routine i would gain it all back and more, i probably would have never started.

There are easier, and less painful ways to keep off weight.

Thanks!

Burping is making me feel slightly better. Still feel crappy. Though, I may push through the crappiness and try to write anyway...But I'll definitely be slower than normal...

If it was about losing weight, Ally, then I'd be perfectly healthy. I know how to lose weight properly. My body fat percentage is under 18%.

I'm not sure what you're looking for here, Tally. I don't think anyone in the thread is qualified to give you support with eating disorders and food issues.

I hope things get better for you, Tally!

So I just wrote 700 words in 15 minutes. That's my fastest yet! I hit 11.5K. And that means I wrote 3.5K so far in my write-a-thon. 11 hours have passed since I started and I was supposed to be at a higher word count! But sleep and distractions and planning future scenes happened. BOO. But now I'm 13.5K away from my 17K goal! And I've got about 13 hours left to write! I can do this! But yeah, I planned all my big scenes using Myndology note cards, so it'll be easier for me!

Gonna start another writing session!

Oh my God! I'm going to sound like a weirdo, but have you ever just seen a little toddler so freaking cute you kind of want to kidnap them?

There is the most adorable little boy in the waiting room. He's running around with a T-Rex toy. SOOOO CUTE!!!
