Carolyn's Blog

No geek stuff here

I decided to make a new post of pure writing stuff so that people who come to my blog don't wonder if they got the wrong blog or maybe Carolyn is babbling worse than ever. Any way! Today I got to the gym only to realize, to my great horror, that I had failed to bring along A Feast for Crows. So, I notebooked instead. I decided to flesh out my next historical and actually, I think I made some darn good progress in the notion. I don't have any names yet, but I know the opening scene and the opening situation and that's good. And I think I may know what happens at the end of that scene, which is not something I expected, but then, these things never are.

In neurotic writer news, my agent said she would take a look at my stack-O-paper before it goes off to editor land and I haven't heard anything back. Insert disaster scenarios here. Now I'm afraid to read anything I sent her because what if I discover it's horrible?

The printer news is mixed at best. The printer repair guy came (driving a Mercedes! Obviously, I am in the wrong profession.) He replaced the fuser but it didn't fix the problem and since fusers are $4-500 dollars it would be cheaper to buy a new printer than pay for the repair visit AND replace the fuser. So I told him to put the old one back. He checked and cleaned a bunch of other parts and no go. He says this means it's the toner cartridge. Every single toner I've ever bought for this machine? I can't even print 1000 pages... That's really disappointing. On the other hand, I watched him pull out the fuser and I bet now I could replace it myself, if I could find a fuser. Except, as was demonstrated, that was not the problem. So, now I have to buy new toner to see if it goes away.
