Sigh of Relief
I was not having a good time writing via that Wolfram program, and came to figure out that it wasn't really meant for long documents. Page three or four, and there would be a lag between my typing and when the letters actually appeared on the screen; once the lag started, it quickly because much worse, until I ended up typing a sentence, then waiting to watch it appear, letter by letter. When there was a typo in the middle of that sentence, I would have to go back and fix it...which would take nearly as long.
So I did some more research, gave it another try, and successfully installed LibreOffice on my Pi. Oh my gosh, it works so much better, I basically could have cried.
I still haven't worked out the whole flash drive thing, but I may not bother. Emailing docs back and forth is no big, and for some things I can just write the whole story/chapter on the Pi and email it when I'm all done. No more trouble than all the times I've written at work and not been able to use a flash drive, or gone between my desktop, my laptop, and Drive.
I can seriously sit here and write forever, though; it's so much more comfortable, even on this fifty-year-old couch, than sitting at the kitchen table or in an office chair. And I find myself more focused, too, down in my quiet basement. (My
quiet, COLD basement - my feet are going numb, so I'm gonna call it a night!)
I like how this blog has turned into a record of my troubles writing on a Raspberry Pi. What dumb thing can I struggle with for weeks next...
