The idea of carrying TWO notebooks is brilliant. One for the novel and one for RP - I have only carried one around. As well as making things available offline. Switching my laptop off from the net would become very easy to do.
The lure of RP and feeling guilty about my RP partner is a bit too much for me so it's been a bit hard to just break away and do my own thing. I've let it go on too long so it's become a habit.
