Draft Five Dream
About a thousand typed pages sit on the floor next to the table – four complete drafts of a short novel. But it is not yet a novel, for it is no good.
I want to walk away from it, never think about it again, but it is only seven in the morning.
The word processor is a blank page except for the numeral 1 in the top right corner. I start typing.
The dream is still alive.

Pen or laptop, as long as you keep the dream alive. Long live the dream.
If that 1 in the corner turns to a >,
you better start coding some UNIX.
OTOH, Hemingway's tech skills were notoriously weak, so just keep writing.
