Even so, lots to do yet tonight. With the holiday approaching, hours are limited.<br /><br />Seems like your visit to Asheville reloaded your powder mags. You are blowing it all right out of the water!Gwynlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13131507614528809505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544734331016753585.post-82818692292767060122009-11-17T22:34:50.696-05:002009-11-17T22:34:50.696-05:00Kate,
Good to see you, darlin'. Do yourself...Kate, <br /><br />Good to see you, darlin'. Do yourself a favor and back everything up onto a CD. I have been told Staples or Kinkos (I'm not sure of any others) can print it all out AND put it together for you if push comes to shove.<br /><br />My lexmark is giving me a fit and if the Samsung cartridge runs out, I'm so screwed, so keeping this bit of info available just in case.<br />After darn near killing myself, to not get it printed and mailed? You'd need a paint-scraper to get me off the ceiling!<br /><br />I wish I could help with the computer, but have made no secret of my Techno-dudness. (Coining new words is such fun!)<br /><br />Hang in. We SHALL overcome.Gwynlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13131507614528809505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544734331016753585.post-87212664604214119052009-11-17T21:41:39.501-05:002009-11-17T21:41:39.501-05:00Still plugging along.

I ran through the first column of "repeated words" and eeked my way into the second column.<br /><br />Got distracted by HQN's latest news: a VANITY PRESS. So super depressing as an unpublished writer, but my money is much better spent on entering contests like GH, honing my craft, and moving forward.<br /><br />Pulling boot straps up and finishing the "repetitive words" tomorrow. Then I print, work on synopsis and do the same.<br /><br />The beat goes on.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544734331016753585.post-26115251618439194672009-11-17T15:53:37.595-05:002009-11-17T15:53:37.595-05:00Phew.

It could possibly be the same story.<br /><br />At that point, computer started to freeze up again. I keep praying I'll be able to print out the GH entry before it dies. (Internet computer is newer. New enough I don't know how to do what I want in Word.) <br /><br />And you need to get some sleep, lady.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08953198534785233213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544734331016753585.post-6847938898127682792009-11-17T09:49:47.827-05:002009-11-17T09:49:47.827-05:00Totally understand!

I'll be there in a few months with darling hubby after his hip replacement (help). <br /><br />Yesterday was super productive. Read through all the 55 pages and edited on hard copy. Worked through inputting the edits on my computer for the rest of the day. Added a few words, lost a few words in the fine tuning process. Now on the fourth Chapter (mine are short). I have about 18 pages left to input.<br /><br />Then I'll go through and hunt down repetitive words, "it, that, then, was" and fine tune a bit more. After that print, work on synopsis, reread aloud the pages.<br /><br />The beat goes on!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.com
