It's funny how - when you have certain constraints, creativity sometimes leaps up and hugs your brain (if you know what I mean).

I wonder sometimes if the Brontes would have done what they did if they weren't stuff up in that parsonage, scrounging for paper, writing in tiny tiny letters and hiding it from each other at times....

Of course, it may not be so much the constraint of being computer-less as "enforced change of routine?" I think think this is part of NANOWRIMO's charm.....
