For the last few weeks I’ve been writing from my iPod touch. So far it’s been a great experience because I can write when ever I want to no pressure. Sure, I’m not writing my novel in record time, but it is allowing me to put a lot more touch onto my writing.
I’m able to write about life and the nuances of each character. Of allows me to concentrate only on the here and now of my story and not so much worry about what I need my characters to do to reach a particular junction in the story.
hopefully come the cold I’ll be able to spend a lot more time on my writing any getting the sicker done. But right now I’m enjoying my salsa. This weekend there is a three salsa festival at the Old Port in Montréal.
Have fun and enjoy your summer

Ok, that’s impressive. I wrote most of a short story on my Blackberry, but it at least has a *keyboard*. I have a relatively new Touch but really haven’t gotten the hang of it — I have trouble typing short emails using the touchscreen.

It takes a while to learn to type with it. I have had a Blackberry before and with the Touch you need to be more conscious of your typing. But there are times when I can type with two fingers. But usually it’ll almost be only the one finger.
But Apple did an amazing job with the spell checker. If I mistype one of the keys, the Notes application is smart enough to fix the misspelled word. It will provide a solution, I press space then move on.
I got up to 3,500 words. I understand how you were able to write a short story through it. I would tend to forget about it. But then once in a while I would pick up the Touch and 200-500 words would just flow out. It’s not novel writing speeds. But eh…
