Hi, can you get the Neo only on the internet? I can’t seem to be able to find it, unless of course I’m looking in the wrong place, thanks karen.

Hi Fiona,
This NEO sounds great! I’d never heard of it before!
It’s true about slow computer (and me) start-ups and distractions by being online while writing. I, like Andrew above, enjoy using the now ‘antique’ pen-to-paper style, though I can see how marvellous this NEO thing could be to me and others alike – to carry around (in my bag) ready for that bolt of inspiration.
Thanks for telling us all …… I’m off to look into it further…..
Chris

This is a very good point Andrew. When you’ve sent 20 tweets in a single day, you aren’t networking – you’re just telling the world that you haven’t done a stroke of work! Bring back the washing up and cleaning out the fridge: good old-fashioned displacement activities that earn you brownie points too.

Yes, I’ll definitely do some posts on setting up a website, but my next topic will be what prose fiction writers can learn from watching Holby City.

See you soon. x

Aha, so we have it in writing, Fiona: twitter, facebook, wafflebutt, wordyurls and chaTterCrap might, on occasions, waste a writer’s time… 😉 I still prefer the olde methods (sharpening one’s pencils, making another cup of tea) because they remain unwitnessed.

But this site is a thing of beauty, well done! And I’ll be watching out for the advice on setting one up. The NEO sounds really good – how much of the preceding text can you see when you’re writing? Now, I’ll just make another cup of tea and then get on.

Hi everyone. Thank you for stopping by – it’s great to have you here!

A few people have asked me about the cost of the Neo. My model (now called Neo 1) is about £170 in the UK and the Neo 2 is around £230. They’re cheaper – like most things – in the US.

Kathleen, I’ll do a post (or three!) for emerging writers on how to build a simple website, so watch this space.

Hi! I’m wasting valuable writing time looking at your website but found it all worthwhile! Might look into the Neo – was it expensive?

Looks great! I’m jealous of your great big readable typeface and mix of sizes. How do you do it?! Also your very customized header.
The Neo sounds interesting too. Send this on to them and see if they’ll link to your site!

Hi Fiona, I’m impressed! The Neo could well be just what I need to set me into action. You could certainly take it anywhere and then type away to your hearts content!! Brill, love Kas.
