writing

This modified typewriter "types" in colors instead of letters. Check the via link for more information!

Working on the next great American novel, or trying to cash on the lucrative One Direction fan fiction market, but distracted by all those crazy Internets?

Well worry no more, because now you can focus with the Hemingwrite.

This simple device is dubbed "the Kindle of writing composition." It consists of a mechanical keyboard and E Ink screen that lets you type distraction-free and backup your work to the cloud, syncing with apps like Evernote and Google Docs.

All you need now is a nice mojito and a bull fight.

J.K. Rowling, in her never ending quest to become everyones "cool aunt" on Twitter, has offered up some inspiration in the form of rejection letters.  


The pictured letters are both tiny and a little blurry but if you put on your reading glasses you might see that one is a polite and short dismissal and the other is apologetic and offers some helpful tips after saying "No, thank you." 

This was part of a discussion where Rowling also answered questions and, as usual, offered a response to a fan that was both supportive and wise. 



See, just like everyone else, J.K. Rowling got rejected a few times before becoming an international sensation. Take away her fame and she still gets rejected every now and then.
