A 90 minute avi... pretty smooth. Discovering new techniques on Photoshop.[/quote]

[quote=Austruck]Ooh, I didn't realize it was an AT&T phone. That's our carrier. :)  Not that I'm in the market for a new phone -- hubby just got me my first smartphone for Christmas. But, if I were, I'd look at an Amazon phone, for sure. Some people are Apple fanboys or fangirls. I'm an Amazon fangirl.  :)[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]In regards to the new and bada** Amazon Fire Phone: why does AT&T always get the cool phones? Their coverage BLOWS in my area.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Also, I mostly like to write dark stuff, and the dark stuff really takes it out of you.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Yeah, that makes total sense. I feel like my writing has reached the point that it far out weighs my life experiences. Then again, I've had some pretty crazy experiences. Just don't know if I wanna write about it. :D[/quote]

[quote=Austruck]When I was about your age, one of my writing teachers (this was a poetry class) at Carnegie Mellon said, "Your sonnet is technically flawless. You followed the form, your images are all right and consistent. The problem is, you just don't have anything to SAY yet."  

So, my advice? Wait thirty years and you'll have PLENTY to say.  ;)[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Gah, writing is such a self-deprecating task for me these days. I know I gotta write crap before I write good stuff, and I hate editing upon editing. I know how the writing process works but I'm basically just lazy.[/quote]

[quote=Austruck]I'm at my yearly writing conference. I'm using it as a personal writing retreat this year. Clocked more than 3,000 new words on the novel project today. And I won 1st place in both of the daily humor prompt contests this evening. 

Good first day!  :)[/quote]
