I want a new writing toy. But I haven’t been writing fiction regularly. So I set up a reward for myself. If I can write regular and turn in two Neochapters to my writing group on time, then and only then do I get to order the new Neo, well, after I turn in my old one and get the $25 rebate. Woot!

I’m an avid reader. This holiday weekend I’m reading the internet, inhaling is more like it. Specifically, I’m trawling Twitter.com, Facebook.com and various and sundry links I find posted there. Mostly on social networking.
