I got a new camera to replace the one that got battered in Brazil. It is much cleverer than the old one, with a touch screen at the back, as a result of which I can't work out how to do easy things like turn the flash on and off. I tried it out on the dog and some cherries...
So far today I've signed fifty-something tee shirts for the
CBLDF. All black, except for a mystery dark blue one, and a few that have greyed with time or cheap dyes. I've returned to the "I cannot part with it" pile the first black tee shirt I ever owned, and my black on black Disaster Area Sundive Tour shirt, but have steeled myself to part with others -- lots of beloved black tee shirts from the dawn of time. It feels a bit odd signing an early Frank Miller Sin City tee shirt, or a Dave Sim Cerebus UK Tour shirt, or an original Hellraiser movie crew tee shirt...
Anyway, I've stopped now because all surfaces that could be covered by tee shirts have been, and now the signing stuff has to dry. I'll sign another fifty tomorrow...
Ever since Sara Holmes at Read Write Believe and Liz Garton-Scanlon at Liz In Ink did a full fascinating blogging week on the relationship between exercising and writing (see the roundup of it here), I find myself thinking about my writing projects in the middle of workouts--even more than I already did.
Tie that together with the fact that I bought a heart rate monitor a few weeks ago. I love this thing. Constant, numbers-based feedback. What could be better? I know, I know. I should be more perceptive of my own body and how hard I'm working (or not). But that's difficult for me. With my little blinking heart flashing "Work harder" or "Slow down" at me, I spend more time in the zone where I need to be for aerobic fitness.
So I've decided I need a similar monitor for my writing. Something that will blink "More plot," "Not enough character," "Perfect! You're 28% of the way to a critically-acclaimed novel!" You know, that kind of stuff. Something that gives me feedback and can tell me immediately the effectiveness of my work of the moment in regards to my entire body of work.
If you see something like that on the shelves of SportMart or Office Depot, please grab one for me! I'll pay ya back, honest.
