Agoraphobia

The weird thing about working on an iPhone is that I'm now used to this tiny screen. Pages for iPhone zooms in on text instead of word-wrapping, so it's hard to see the context of what you're currently writing. So I was overwhelmed this morning when, during a brief and rare moment on my laptop, I opened up Girl Reporter. So many words on the screen! Such a large page! And so much white space, waiting to be filled! I nearly had an anxiety attack. (I know. First world problems.)

Anyway I quickly closed it, but that was due to the offspring's fussing. Today was not a good day--for him, for me, for writing. Apartment fire alarm testing, the sworn enemy of naps.

Status: Girl Reporter


Word count: 2,115. Doesn't feel like I've made much progress but that still is twice as much as my last recorded word count. Offspring: finally settled down.
