of the art computer (bought with money from mah oil bidness, y'know) to type

Oooooh! I wanna play!
"I'm a writer living in South Dakota."
That means that I'm a large, potato-dumpling-shaped woman with a pale
complexion that's been reddened and roughened by harsh winter winds. I split
my time between carefully copying my final drafts into tablets of thin paper
that's always tearing from the pressure of my knife-sharpened pencil, and
anxiously scanning the horizon for signs of prairie fires or indians.
