Wave Without A Shore

I’ve been doing a simple sword and sorcery story that’s kind of sprawling beyond its original intent. Which I don’t have time to finish soon-ish. I am thinking about selling it in pieces—installments, before it’s finished. That way…once it is finished, it goes up as a New Book. But until then, I might sell it [...]

We’re taking a little refresher break…everybody have a good time and nobody discuss anything controversial until we’re back in full force. We’ll check in to be sure no unbearable amount of fun is being had without us. Posting of lolcats and loldogs is entirely encouraged.

I couldn’t resist.

It’s still a little stiff, but I’m the one who can loosen a keyboard right up. Bigtime. And reversing buttons on the mouse made things behave sanely. I hate trying to drag anything by curling my thumb under my hand to push and hold a stupid button. Whoever thought of that must have been left-handed. [...]

…and it is void of all my programs and settings. This is going to be a slow build. All the conveniences I have set up over the last 6 or so years are not here…not to mention my programs, like word processsing, etc. Win 7 is pretty doggedly determined you are going to use Bing, [...]

…nicer e-books in some formats. Some of the older formats (RTF, TXT and others) have some problems (gappiness and not displaying graphics) that she believes she can resolve.

And every time she runs a fix somebody wanted (most of them nice ideas) she has somebody else writing and asking for yet one more fix. Remember she’s not the webmaster—she’s a [...]

Last night I was miserable, with a beastly upper throat soreness. Between saline rinse, Theraflu, and a nice glass of Merlot, I got through the night fine. I cooked breakfast this morning wearing a swine-flu mask, trying not to sneeze on Jane’s breakfast. Otherwise, I’m trying to get the galleys in for Deceiver and get [...]

We drove down for Radcon—were in cellphone communication with OSG, headed in the same direction. I read the front end of the new Bren book to Jane on the way down, and was happy it sounded good. Radcon was, as I understand, a little less organized than usual…which is usally very good; but once you [...]

http://www.closed-circle.net/WhereItsAt/?page_id=721 Plus it’s got the first section of the book as a free download for any who’d like to have a look at it. Jane just got the book up right before we left for the rink, and I hastily tried to put up the announcment, but didn’t do it right. So here’s hoping this [...]
