New shiny!

My new phone arrived this morning and is exceedingly shiny. Haven't had chance to test it properly yet, but it's sitting there charging away happily and I'll doubtless give it a proper workout later. The manufacturers seem to have gone to some interesting lengths to make it very useful right out of the box. The charger is actually an American plug, but they supply 2 adaptors for it, UK and Europe, so you can just disappear around the globe without worrying about where you can charge it up. It also includes a case (probably somewhat less useful, but appreciated) and earphones. The buttons are tiny (there's a whole qwerty keyboard on there) but I think I'll get used to them. Mostly it looks like a great phone. Yay!

hundredwords

This suits me. Somehow, knowing I've only got to write 100 words a day means I'm not scared of starting. It allows me to just write and not worry about it. The "short" story I'm currently writing is expanding at an alarming rate. It's not going to be finished within the normal bounds of the short story. Hell, it's barely *started* and I've already written nearly a short story's worth. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it takes me to the end of the hundred days, and beyond, just to deal with this one. It may turn into a novel, or at least a novella before I'm done. Cool...
