Photos, computers and New York City
Thought you might be interested in this picture. This is the Queen Mary going into dock. She is is taller than the tallest buildings in the area. (Hudson River side) New York City is something else. She's on an island bordering another island, Long Island (where I used to live) and Staten Island, Ellis Island, Liberty Island and Governors Island.
I grew up on Long Island and lived in the city for seven years, going to college at Manhattan School of Music. Maybe I should go visit the school just for the heck of it.
I'm tooting New York's horn, because I'll be going there next week. Will visit Ithaca, Staten Island and Brooklyn.(Bay Ridge area) My mother's co-op looks over Lower New York Harbor. If you stretch just so much, you can see the Statue of Liberty. You used to be able to see the Twin Towers--sign. Alas, no longer. It's a constant reminder.
Today--I've been frantically working on putting my photos into my computer so I can make copies for family members. Unfortunately, I managed to scan them into the wrong files so I can't bring them up. I don't think I'll EVER learn how to do computer things properly.
Last night I cut 6 pages from chapter 15 in Arms of the Enemy. Still needs a bit of spit polish, which I intend to do today. It's okay as a novel, I think. I think there might be a tiny issue that might cause a problem. It's hero driven rather than heroine drive. He's the one who wants to avenge his father's death. She's his prime suspect. She's running away from the track life and someone's trying to kill her. So is this an acceptable premise? I thought so. Not so positive now. Oh well.
On to Legacy. I think I'm ready to go back, if I can ever get out from under all these darn photos.
Happy writing.

I soooo want to be on the QM! It just looks so cool and sleek.
Hey Pat! Good luck with finding your photo's. It can be so frustrating when you don't talk "computer" hang in there and if you need something give us a shout and I'm sure one of us will be able to help you
Thanks Michelle,
As a matter of fact, I'm still trying to manipulate the right side of the blog. There are a few things I'd like to put on. Like books I'm reading--extending links--wip things like that. I have loads of links to share. Maybe some other blogs. You know. The usual. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Hi Pat,
On your hero driven book. I love hero driven books. In fact, I read for the heroes, I'm nowhere near as interested in the heroines.
So your book sounds right up my alley.
Needless to say, my book is hero driven as well. In fact, ALL my premises are hero driven. So far I haven't had any complaints about that aspect though.
My best guess, is that this won't really pose a problem for you.
best of luck

Theresa, thank you. I certainly hope so, because I'm not changing the premise now. LOL
Michelle, I checked on my c drive. The picture folder has been erased. I don't understand what happened. Fortunately, I copied my files to my other computer, so I have them. I was scanning more photos into the my pictures folder and all of a sudden none would come up. Well, I found out why. Darn.
