Garth Brooks and Decaf Coffee

I lied yesterday, and didn’t even know it.ย  Today, as I was rejoicing that all my chapters were finally in the computer, I noticed that I was wrong.ย  So again today, my hands hurt.ย  I’ll survive.ย  This time I’m pretty sure it’s all in.ย  Thanks to Garth Brooks and decaf coffee, which does have caffeine, […]

My Hands Hurt!

I wish I had a scanner!ย  And a printer, and…well, that’s okay.ย  I’ll get there.ย  I’m only complaining because I had to type two of my chapters into the computer yet again, somehow every time I have computer problems, I don’t back up those two chapters.ย  Just those two.ย  And I love those chapters.ย  They’re

The Ultimate Writer's Helper!

I am so loving this! Being online is doing wonderful things for my writing. I’m getting more done this month than I have in the past two years.

The Joys of Message Boards…

Okay, the internet proved its usefulness once again. I posted as a joke, just because there was nothing on the board, and received a very insightful response that sent me scurrying to re-write. Of course, I knew that to a Marine, a gun is never just a gun. It’s a SAW, or a Glock, or

Holy Cow, I Love the Internet!

I spent the morning writing, mostly, which was a good thing, because my afternoon was shot to hell. I hate the first of the month, there’s always so much junk that has to be done. I have five chapters of Star edited, though, and that’s a good thing. When I’d had enough writing, I went
