Oh iPhone how I heart thee

So I'm trying to write a 100K novel from May 11 to June 10. 30K of word vomit sheer poetry down so far. None of this would be possible without my secret weapon. My precious.

Oh iPhone. How did I write anything before you? It was like I never knew writing at a break-neck pace, until I knew you.

Top five reasons why the iPhone is the ultimate writing machine:

1. Incredible bed and covers synergy. With the iPhone you can write curled up in bed under the covers. You don't need a desk. You don't need a chair. You don't even need LIGHT. Because all the little keys glow. Like tiny, nurturing suns.

2. Carry it anywhere! No more lugging the laptop downstairs to the coffee shop. No more scribble-filled napkins and receipts stuffed in your pockets, purses, boyfriend's pockets, and bra straps because you didn't have a proper notebook with you.

3. No distractions. Yes, there's internet on it. But it's small and slow and I'm too cheap to afford a decent data plan. There's nothing between me and book. Nothing. Not even A KEYBOARD. Except Puzzle Quest for the iPhone. Fie on you Puzzle Quest!

4. Ultimate efficiency. Now when I have a free second, I don't have to waste it texting friends, thinking or having conversations with people. Carry an iPhone in your pocket and every spare nanomoment can be spent writing as fast as your thumbs can fly. Fly thumbs, fly fly fly.

5. Much easier to write while driving. Relax, I'm kidding.

Is this what heaven looks like?

Props where props is due: I was inspired to try this by the lovely and talented Lauren Oliver, who wrote most of Before I Fall on her smart phone. Damn was she on to something. Proving once again she is a dynamo on so many dynamo-tastic levels.
