For a little bit, anyway, here is the character in question. I haven't got a real name for her yet.
With our schedules over the last few years (including the arrival of a new little one) we haven't done as much as I want to. But come spring we plan to start doing weekend outings to the Civil War (and Revolutionary War) sites around here to supplement the history lessons. My boys need to know they're Virginians and the history that goes with that. We live just a few miles from where our first Huguenot ancestors settled in the late 1600s. I need to keep that connection open.
Coming back from the reunion on Sunday we plan to stop at the D-Day Memorial in Bedford if we have time.
If you're interested in using some HTMl I whipped up to publish your novel next month, there's a screenshot in the Hole. We can even customize it - but then, you're fairly computer literate and maybe you want to do your own thing.
Lots of people around here heat with wood or at least have a fireplace. Our chimney has a crack in the flue so we don't use the fireplace. We were in a court process with the previous owners for several years, but finally told our attorney just to settle and take whatever they offered for his payment - so we use candles.
But neighbors on either side use wood and I think they'll take the tree. We've got a tree man coming in a couple of weeks to take down the one the branch fell from earlier. My neighbor will take that for wood as well.
I'm far less concerned about getting rid of wood than I am about one falling on the house.
I'm not sure how I want to present mine. I'm actually thinking of "publishing" it online if I can pull it off. But I'll make it available for the Hobbit Hole regulars to read first.
The thing I am worried about is I am using a "textarea" element for the story text. This works well for getting line breaks in, and since I'm using stylesheets I can work on the font, color, that sort of thing, but I can't do in-text formatting. You don't happen to know a way around that, do you?
Just checking in. We're off to watch A Beautiful Mind because it's due back at Blockbuster in the a.m.
So now you can consider me gone until at least Sunday night (more likely Monday a.m.)
One helluva week (work wise), which didn't allow me to check in much.
How's the Hole tonight?
We windy elves wanna know.
But then, I'm a sweet-talker with the gals, just ask Corin.
