Novel Success!

Progress: 120% (60,003 out of 50,000 words)
I did it! I wrote another novel in 30 days, my first since 2015, and I did it almost entirely on the Jarne (I used my Infinity a little bit and one time I beat my deadline by typing some words out on my phone's keyboard while standing in a crowded subway train). I also met my goal of writing at least 1,667 words a day. Here are some of the cool weird places I managed to work on my novel, thanks to the Jarne!
Jarne on a tripod in sand
On the playground while my kid was on the swings!
Jarne next to a chess table
At the park next to the chess tables!
Jarne on a train
On a Metro North train!
Jarne on my legs on the subway
On a subway train!
Jarne on a laptop, lit up
And of course at home!

It was so amazing to be able to just carry the Jarne in its little case and sometimes my InStand tripod and know that all I'd need beyond that was my phone to be able to write. Such a liberating experience! By far the most successful novel-in-a-month challenge of the six I've attempted to date!
