work work work
I am writing today. In various waiting rooms, I will continue to write. My goal is at least a thousand words. This evening I will post to tell you if I have reached that goal.
If you don't see a post update here by eight in the evening, pacific standard time, you should use the comments to remind me about my responsibilities. Okay?
Also: the quote thing in the right hand column isn't working. Because I couldn't sleep last night so I tried to set up a php sideblog... which really, is pushing my technological capabilities to the breaking point to start with ... and it was like, three in the morning.
And now I have to write, and take the Mathematician to the doctor, so I have no time to fuss with php includes. But someday hopefully.
My right-hand column isn't working, period. It starts where your posts end. Help! This happened when your page format changed. (And I like the pink. But I really liked the old format a lot. The lady with the funky hat and the stockings? She was cool.)
Hope you reach your goal! Hope all goes well today.
Oh, goodie gumdrops! I got my PERSONALLY SIGNED copy of TTTT this afternoon. The UPS man looked at me somewhat strangely when I rounded the corner of the house (garden out back) thanking him profusely for my package. I've devoured 4 pages while cooking supper. It's looking really, really good. (No, I don't give undeserved compliments.)
Oh, you've got 3 more hours to become responsible!
I went on a vacation for a week and missed so much! Sorry to hear about the mathematician's slipped disc (make sure he completes all the Physical Therapy after any surgery -trust me) Glad it is not more serious.
BUT I did want to say I finally got a chance to read Homestead. It is a fantastic novel and has me thinking about all sorts of genealogy since some of my family comes from that part of the world. Your talent is amazing. I may have gotten my husband to read this one, and he hasn't read a novel since college!
Thanks again

done yet? how bout now?...now? now?.....soooo..about those 1000 words..finished?
Apologies, still in goofy mode. Spent 3 hours in the waiting room at my local under-staffed hospital. my boy fell on his head . Had to get 2 staples to close the gash. Think I was whining more then he was. So whatcha writin'? Is that a no-no to ask? is there a handbook I could referr to on writer etiquette? kidding,sort of... gotta admit my curiosity about yor new book is increasing by the day(thoughts are all over today,not enough time to organise them in the 5 minutes I have before I crash, oops still whining)Might have to break down and get a copy. Tho...I was considering Homestead first...Introduced the wee ones to "The Sound of Music" recently and it kind of set the tone...rambling, my bad. Anywho, hope the writing is going well and if I don't end this soon I'l have a 1000 words!
Bruce: 1130 words. Later than I planned, but hey. Still dealing with the mangled Mathematician.
Sorry to hear about your son, hope he isn't too uncomfortable.
Now, you probably don't realize it, but you just came up with a brilliant idea. An etiquette guide for how to approach authors... I could hae some fun with this.
Soup: I'm so glad you enjoyed Homestead. thank you. I'm not sure what to say to Bruce when he mentions Sound of Music in relation to Homestead... apples and oranges?
asdfg -- glad to hear the book arrived okay, looking forward to hearing what you think.
Sarah. Oh dear. I'll see what I can do.
Yup, come ta think of it I kinda liked the old page too,missing head and all...hehe, probably not what ya wanna here after all the work ya puttin in to get the new 1 running smoothly. Actaully I'm kinda on cruise control today so I've got notting constructive to say and thought I'd break the rule.
