At the end of the summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s still sizzling in places — even in places that traditionally don’t burn.
Anne Wayman, over at The Golden Pencil, is in San Diego where the temperature Sunday morning was already 87 degrees and the humidity not much better. Tough to work, tough to sleep — so she went and bought an air conditioner. Installed it. Didn’t like the closed in feeling — but she can sleep. She can work.
In my comment, I noted that I had never thought of “air conditioning” being “technology for writers.” But if you can’t sleep and can’t function because of the heat, an air conditioner can be a writer’s best friend.
I’ll have to expand my outlook on the technology tools for writers! Check out Anne’s story on A Freelance Writer’s Workspace.

lol, and in my area of San Diego, 92104, it was even hotter… they tell us we’ll be 8-10 degrees cooler today, but so far no sign of that.
Technology is an interesting word, isn’t it…
Thanks for the link.

The deal is…it’s the truth! Hard to work when it’s 100 degrees outside and just as bad inside.
Not that it needs to be perfect, of course. But extremes are not the greatest for writing good stuff.
