Hope comes with a shiny machine

Can a new, swanky machine make you think more, want to write more, say more? 

I succumb to the charms of the new MacBook Pro and say yes, quite likely. 

Which is why I’m sitting with the Mac a few minutes after getting up, with my tea growing cold and my stomach growling in hunger. 

I’m making this Mac the panacea for whatever I feel could be better in my life, especially my insane writer’s block and lack of confidence in whatever I write. 

And so, I wonder, can a shiny new thing make you want to express?

As I write a post on this blog 14 months after the last one - I hope so.
