New Chair, Same View

My writing chair broke. :( It broke a few weeks ago, actually. At first, I thought, no big deal. I'll just sit on the couch and write. But soon I felt lost without my chair. Everyone would go to bed and I'd stand there wondering where to go. The couch just wasn't cutting it. I was still writing, but it just wasn't the same. It soon became apparent that despite his good intentions, my husband would not be fixing the broken chair anytime soon. So I decided it was time for a new chair. Something not breakable. I decided to go for one of those big comfy bean bags instead. Saturday, I went and bought myself a five foot, hot-pink "monster sak."

Oh, it's so comfy! Maybe a little too comfy, but we'll see. As you can tell from the picture, the chair (or sack, I guess, and no I'm not changing the name of the blog) is under the window, so I won't really have the same view unless I contort myself somehow to look up out the window. Actually, though, I'm usually writing at night when it's dark outside anyway. I can always prop it up against the other wall and look out at the view or I can just stand at the window and admire the mountain whenever I need to. So, I'm really hoping that the addition of a new writing chair will kick me into high gear so I can finish this novel already! I've been working on it for one year tomorrow, and I have written 507 pages. Woohoo! Now I just need to be a little bold, a little courageous and write the coolest ending ever and I'll be set.
