In reply to Simon Daniels. Simon, I can totally relate to binge writing. :-)

In reply to DLFlesher. I just purchased an iPod touch and I'm finding it useful for that as well.

I'm a bit of a binge writer. I have weeks when I'm writing constantly and fallow periods when even editing sems a herculean task. I think I'm just plain lazy most of the time and I need a kick up the butt(metaphorical and physical) to send me on my creative way. A famous writer once said to me " It's better to write something even if it's absolute crap." Writing is something you never forget how to do, but it's whether you want to do it to the best of your ability that's the question you have to ask yourself. I'm a blogger and short story writer too – maybepoet47.blogspot.com

My greatest writing tool when I was working full time, my husband was in school full time and doing two jobs and I was the only one at home to look after my daughter, was my iPod. I wrote about 1/3 of my novel on the notes app on my iPod. During lunch breaks, on the bus, in the line at the grocery store. I'm fortunate to have a pretty physically repetitive job and can go over plot details in my head while I'm working. I can't say how many times I rushed through a client so I could go write down the revelation that had just popped up in my head. Now my husband is done school I get to work less at my day job so I can have a writing schedule. But I still write at night when my daughter and husband are in bed and my characters are never far from my mind.
