The Thursday computer recooperation blahs
It's Thursday and the computer saga goes on. I virus' are gone. But this afternoon I went to turn it on and it wouldn't get past the "windows" sign again. I finally manipulated my way in. (There's more ways of doing almost anything)
I started reading Odd Thomas (Dean Koontz) Dean is my favorite author for descriptions. However, I'm on page 66 and he really hasn't started his plot yet. All this buildup is driving me crazy. I used to love his books so much. With Odd Thomas, I love his characters especially the hero (who sees dead people and knows it) But, I do wish he'd "get on with it." He's worth the read, if not for nothing else than his metaphors and descriptive passages. Genius.
No writing today yet so far and it's 5:10. Been doing all the puter problem aftermath things such as defragmenting both computers. Exhausted from all 'puter issues. I got some great ideas as to how to improve chapter 15 of Arms of the Enemy from one of the ladies in my critique group. I intend to implement those changes tongiht. Then, I'm going to put in the blasted prologue and be done with it. So there!
I thought I'd write an erotic romance short story. I have an idea. I thought I'd written the story several years ago (not as erotica) but it seems to have disappeared. Maybe I just thought it out. Never really wrote one. Should be interesting.
Of course, after that it's back to Legacy.
Thought I show you a picture of Socks. He's my prototype for Julie's horse in Matt's Murder. (my first novel and still the one closest to my heart) Sitting in "My Documents" -- Novels.
Back to work.
Happy reading
Pat

Pat,
I'm sorry to hear that your computer woes aren't over yet.
Are both of your computers malfunctioning? Is there anything you can do?
Angelle, Ihave a computer guru coming to the house to look at it. He instally NOrton and took out MacAfee for one thing. Then he had me delete many unused programs. He's going to see what kind of memory I have and try an upgrade.
Hope it works. In th eprocess of all this I tried to download phots and managed to erase them all from the hard drive. Drat. Fortunately I had saved them to my laptop.
