Hey Folks,
Oh, if anyone wants to visit my site to see the changes in the menu that I mentioned yesterday, visit http://HarveyStanbrough.com. Sorry I didn’t include the link yesterday. And thanks to my friend Robert (by the way, that’s pronounced ro-BEAR as he is an honorary Acadian), for the gentle reminder. (grin)
I still have a little work to do in that regard. A few fixes to target pages to make them more negotiable. But no rush on that.
I learned yesterday that I have a new copyedit coming in, so I’ll be splitting my time between earning money and finishing my WIP. Money. Ugh. Filthy lucre. Eating. Who needs it, am I right?
I suppose today I’ll continue to deal with the problem I mentioned yesterday. But I won’t allow myself to be trapped at the computer.
My characters are standing stage left and right, glaring at me. Their arms are crossed, they’re frowning, their toes are tapping impatiently. Time to get back to the story and just write the next sentence.
***
Back and forth between writing and the office computer. Getting my exercise 200 feet at a time.
The story’s moving along fine, albeit in roughly half-hour increments. Probably won’t be a lot of writing today, but some at least.
More than I hoped for. I finally stopped for the day because I’m tired of walking. (grin)
Back soon.
