I know what you mean about preferring writing to revising. I like seeing my book improve, but it's really slow going. It's harder to chart the progress vs. number of new words written, and even harder to fit into small increments of time. I've been wrestling with improving my own writing discipline, and plan to prioritize large chunks of time to revising my current novel so I can get back to writing a new one.

I carry my Eee around all the time, and try to schedule an hour in the morning before work or sometimes on lunch. But I do get most of my work done on days off and weekends. I don't do much housework :)

Good luck!

I also find I have to do multiple layers of revision, which takes multiple revising sweeps. But I write things linearly, so I usually have only one time step when writing the rough draft.

And I guess I could take my Eee PC everywhere. It fits in my purse fine. However, I tend to like to revise on paper, which can also go with.
