Also, halfbaked sociobiology cuts in two directions, dearest Melanie. Sure, it's 'natural' for you to seek a silverback with the greenbacks, but when he discards you like yesterday's trash for a younger model with fuller lips, will you still hum the same tune?

Really, Vanity Fair? Hasn't this been done before?

On Four Writers Explain How They're Writing Novels
For what it's worth, what you say reflects my own experiences. As much as I enjoy the feeling of pen and paper, I'm carving time to write, and it's easier to do that electronically.
