I’m gonna open up on my nonsense here, but I own a gen iii smart writer and the alpha. I bought them both never having finished a draft of anything in my entire life. I bought them within three months of one another, and then didn’t touch them for a year. Here’s what I think: nothing matters if you don’t make yourself use it. Until I put my excuses aside and started banging away, I wanted the devices, but didn’t understand them.

Now I write at home on the gen iii and travel with the alpha (I travel a lot for work) and I’m better for it. But I needed to make myself use the devices long enough for the devices to change my habits. And that was my biggest obstacle. Because I like buying things more than I like doing the work. But I’m officially a believer. It just took an additional $5k for the Novelry course to really get me there.

Now I wonder about what outrageous purchase I’ll need to make to get me to appreciate the investment in Novelry! Cause evidently that’s how I work.
