            <description><![CDATA[I don't write for a living. Clearly, right? Anyway, I write for pleasure. As in, there are no negative consequences if I don't write something, other than the fact that something I thought might be a good idea at one time won't be a thing I can go back and read later.]]></description>

I used the Raspberry Pi Imager which allowed me to set up Wi-Fi as part of the installation process]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The minimal need for any kind of layout, accompanied by the rendering library that this site uses made markdown a natural choice to write blog posts. It's all plain text and the symbols used for the small amount of markup I need are minimally intrusive. Using markdown for blog posts led me to start using it for all of my writing. One of the main benefits of this is the plain text because, guaranteed, any computer is going to be able to edit that. Another thing it has going for it is that 99.9% of it is just the words. I can also use source control for storing my files and tracking the changes. This comes back to me writing software for a living, and I trust something like Bitbucket a lot more than I trust Google Drive. Speaking of software, the symbols used for headings make it very easy to break my stories into chapters programmatically, in case I want to edit them.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I don't agree with this premise. I was distracted from things I wanted to accomplish long before the internet was a thing. I'll acknowledge that distractions are a lot easier to find on a multi-purpose, multitasking machine, and so there is value, to me, in a single-purpose writing machine. But I don't see a way to a life free from interjections just because I spent a lot of money on a writer deck.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Another area I'm interested in is fountain pens. I don't build them, but I like writing on paper. It's a slower process, and does require typing what I've written out if I want to be able to edit, or put it online, but it's worth it to me to have a physical copy that I wrote.]]></description>
