Saturday July 16th Where is the summer going?
I can't believe the summer has gone so fast. A blink of an eye and a month has past since my last day of school. I'll bet the kids are thinking the same thing.
What have I accomplished? I've worked on Legacy and have had three chapters critqiued by my critique group. (RWCCritiquegroups@yahoo.com) In case anyone's interested. I've tried others. I'm listed on the critique circle. Charlotte's group is overall the best I think. Not as many restrictions, although believe me, she has some. Charlotte runs a tight ship. If any of you are not on her RWCList--I'd highly recommend it. Some great authors on there who are will to spend their time to help.
Okay, that was a tangent. What have I accomplished. I've managed mto make it up to chapter 15 of Legacy. Someone suggested that since this is a paranormal after all, what in the world is my ghost doing during this time? What indeed? I'd totally ignored him. Since he is almost a secondary character--a trickster to some, a shadow to others and a mentor to my heroine, I certainly think he should take some part in this. In the Arms of the Enemy is almost done also. Just--okay, it's chapter 15 again. And it's the black moment (again) It's written, but just not to my satisfaction. In otherwords I almost hate it. I've managed to cull it by 6 pages. Better, yes. Even close to being as scary and well written as Dean Koontz? Not by a long shot. (do I compare myself to other writers Gosh, I try not to. sometimes it just happens.)
Today I have an RWA meeting. I belong to the RWANWIndiana group. Alician Rasley will be giving a workshop. Yeah, Alicia. I've just signed up for her Earthly Charms Workshop. The Glue That HOlds the Plot Together. I'm on my way (I keep telling myself)
The computer is running stronger not quite as crazy this morning. I thought it was going to crash last night. It froze on AOL. Trying to use my task manager I went from one task manager to thirty six. I kid you not. the CPU was going crazy. The little black and green grid was bobbing up and down like angry waves at sea. I got sea sick just looking at it. I was just going to show you another photo of the Queen Mary (inside) when I remembered I don't have them on my puter any longer.
God, I'm glad I downloaded them into my other computer.
Have a good day everyone. Today I AM going to do another clean-up of chapter 15. If I ever get off these blogs

Yes, where in Hades has the summer gone? I just blinked yesterday and it was April. Forget May & June. They just flew by. Pretty soon it'll be time for back to school shopping. ARGH.

I can't believe July's 1/2 over. Although I must say I'm kinda happy that the summer's going to be over soon. I can't stand this season in Japan.
