An O/C Writer’s Plight
I was planning to write today. So I picked up my iPad Pro, but alas, could not find the Pages icon as I had forgotten that in my drive for simplifying my life, I had moved it Into an icon labeled the only Suite. I eventually found it and loaded Pages. Pages has A particularly nasty feature. It opens with a list of new features to try. One of these features, called Scribble, allows you to use an Apple Pencil to enter a long-hand and have the iPad translate as a typed document. I immediately hit the 'Learn More' button. It only took me a few minutes to read and understand how to use Scribble, and then I spent another 40 minutes perusing other Pages features and improvements. With this completed, I put down my iPad and started looking for my Apple pencil. I remembered I had last used the pencil to prop up a drooping Peace Lilly in our bedroom. I was surprised to find that my memory was correct. I wiped off the pencil and connected it to my iPad. My iPad Informed me, quite curtly, that the Apple Pencil battery had zero charges.
For those folks who are not familiar with apple's nefarious strategy of producing fabulous products with all too easily lost yet necessary interfaces. One such element is the unbelievably tiny part needed to charge the pencil. ( 5/8" ) that I have misplaced. Now, because of my obsessive-compulsive nature, I must find the damned thing before I can charge the pencil, try out Scribble, and practice writing clearly before I write anymore.
