The Call: Digging Up Fresh Thoughts — Cheryl
I’m starting from scratch with my desktop. No, I haven’t devolved to an old Underwood. I still have my HP Pavilion, but now, it’s unencumbered by whatever was dragging it down (a virus? bad scripts? who knows). Dennis wiped the hard drive yesterday, after saving everything over the last few weeks to an external hard drive or two: 86,000 photos or so; numerous documents related to everything from homeschool record keeping to posts from blogs I blew away long ago; downloads for fonts and brushes and other digital media. Today I reinstalled Photoshop and Lightroom and am basking in the luxury of a responsive computer. The feeling is so liberating, I’m hoping it translates into renewed passion and inspiration, along with gorgeous images and copious “pages” of writing.
Slow computers are the worst! It’s a serious form of torture staring at the screen while the cursor turns and blinks waiting for it come back from processing whatever. Drives me batty!!!
Love the shot of the typewriter in the snow — very metaphorical… ; )
