was inspired to write a very short, single-scene 500-ish-word story as a warmup, then 700+ words on the chapter currently in progress. I find myself *very much* wanting to take my laptop to a cafe to write, but 1. going to a Food Place is fraught 1.a. I could go to one with a place to sit outside, but it's getting into the hot season and I hate hot and sun 2. my laptop is basically a glorified brick; it technically works, but only veeerrrryyyyyy sloooowwwwlly, and I can't figure out what the hell is wrong with it. hm... I think I've taken all the data I want to keep off it, maybe I'll try scrubbing it out, see if that helps. that doesn't solve the problem of impending 80+ degree weather and sun, of course, or of trying to avoid exciting new viral strains...
