The Journeys of a Romantic Suspense Writer Sunday

Not much writing today. I'm TRYING to get ready to go to NY on Tuesday. Talk about Murphy's Law (whatever can you wrong, will go wrong) My desk top is still under the weather, to put it nicely. Today it made moans and groans. Scared the you-know-what out of me. My computer guru came by. Of course it didn't act up when he came. But he's coming tomorrow with lots more memory. Yeah.

One bleak moment though. He isn't sure what the sound was, but he said it didn't sound good. Maybe a part getting ready to go. If it's the processor, I may as well get a new computer. Oh No!

I've transferred all my documents and files to my lap top just in case.

I worked on chapter 15 in Arms of the Enemy (isn't everything about chapter 15?) It just isn't flowing quite right yet. It's the "black moment." Thought maybe I'd sink the yacht while they're having the culminating battle. That should up the ante, as they say. :-)

Legacy is still close to my heart, but I've been mad at it lately. It got sent to bed without its supper for a while. I'll pull it out when I get to NY and hopefully, finish it. Then I won't be mad at it anymore.

So, hopefully, in August, Ms. Janie, I'll start a new project. Whoopie. It will be like getting a new job. grin.

Hope everyone is having a good writing day. Better than mine, at least.

I'm reading Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. Am taking descriptive notes. He's a master, even though some claim he's overly prosaic. Perhaps he is (he is) However, he puts me in a scene and pulls me in like I was a best buddy, or a family member. Can't get better than that.

Happy writing, happy reading.

Pat,

I'm sorry to hear about your computer woes. Hopefully, the sound is nothing. I had ot throw away my first computer when it refused to boot, but I was able to move all my data.

Computer having hiccups? Yeah, I can relate. It's a pain, especially if you're internet addicted like I am. :-)
