Knock Knock Knocking on Chapter One's Door
Ok. So today was a weird and pissy day. boomm at work again.
Argh! and that's all I'll say over here in this blog.
Today I scrapped just about every thing I wrote yesterday in the new Dark Elf chapter 1. At my son's soccer practice, I hunched over the laptop and tried a bazillion times to get a good start. No go. Until, suddenly, I said to myself, Carolyn, darling (the word wasn't actually darling, but pretend it was) what you really want to do is write the scene where the heroine gets interrupted in the middle of stuff by a group of men that includes the hero, so why don't you just do that? So I did, and it seems to have worked. The next thing I know, my son is trying to get into the car and I'm taking up the whole back seat and besides, the car is locked.
In other news, I got the new version of
WordPerfect which for some reason is called X3. I guess it's a better name than something dorky like a year that's been done and gone for quite some time. Now, besides stuff that makes word processing easier, I am dying for a UI that is gorgeous. The UI is pretty much the same old same old, with some BIG exceptions that I'm really liking. So, we shall see. I'm happy with that.
Some other stuff, but I can't talk about it yet.
