Dictionary, and writing, of course

It was a busy week, so busy that I totally forgot my sons appointment with the dietician on the 9th and only remember it this weekend.  I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on.

So my old trusty electronic dictionary kicked the bucket(I've had this for about 15 years):

 

 

 

So I started scouring websites for a new one and low and behold:

 

 

This dictionary (on the right) is so much better than my old one it makes it laughable.  It also has a grammar and punctuation guide which is so handy.    and then I found a wikireader(on left) for only $20.  It has millions of Wikipedia articles and doesn't require the internet.  How cool is that?  This summer when I'm writing at the park or in the back yard,  I'll still be able to research.  I think it's cool, my kids and husband think it's stupid :P

 

I have been really enjoying my current WIP, and it feels so great to be writing...and not just writing, but writing...um, well, what would the word be for what I am trying to say....writing unleashed, I guess.  For lack of another word.  I can't stop.  My mind is just glued to it.  While I'm eating I'm thinking of this novel, while I'm showering, and even when I'm sleeping.  It's a different kind of a thing for me.  and I love it.

Probably the whole story will be crap to someone else, but I'm enjoying it so far.
