Glad y'all got the Internet connection fixed. Does the Missus work from home when she's not traveling?
Yes, she works out of our home office. It's a concept that Nana has yet to grasp.
Ungh...at 250 a page, my main story would be at four hundred and something pages already, with another quarter of the story to go. I guess I'd better do some chopping if I ever get down to editing.
For just writing, I have it at 11 point Garamond, line and a half spacing. 194 pages.
I didn't really sleep at all last night - at least not from sometime after one forward. About to fall asleep at my desk.
I want to take fiddle lessons, too, one of these days. ;-) Actually going to be buying a fiddle from Margaret over the next four or five months - it isn't one of hers, but she worked it over and did some improving. And I know there are tons of fiddlers in the area. Just have to find the right teacher when I'm ready for the committment.
Rosie fiddled whilst the thread died...
She hung up his fiddle and she hung up his bow,
And she knew it was time for her to go.
Ruh, roh.
Hey everybody-- Hairofthedog and Ecurbh asked me to sign on and let y'all know that their cable internet is out, so they can't get online just yet.
Their power was out this morning, and has since come back, but the internet connection is still down. Aside from that, all is well with them and critters. They had a long night but everybody survived, and they called me while out at breakfast.
Yeah. It does tend to be a problem when wife is on a conference call and Nana needs/wants something.
Well, dang. I guess that means that ecurbh wasn't doin' hinky stuff with muh blog after all...
I'm on the phone with Hair now... they've got Cisco over at their place. He was acting all pathetic and they took pity on him and took him in. :-)
Well, for science fiction, average word counts are a lot higher. 100k is a pretty standard size for a space opera, which is what yours is. Don't worry about how long it takes to tell the story, just tell it.
Vey productive day at work, in both the work and the writing-at-lunch senses. I'm less than a day behind on NaNo now.
In normal years, Flagstaff gets a quick storm before Halloween.... doesn't ever last long, tho.
That's just WRONG! Though, I do remember, when we lived in W. Lafayette IN, we went to a Purdue football game with another prof's family, on Oct. 25th, and it started snowing during the game. I was just amazed it would start that early!
Hope their's and Rosie's houses are holding up in the wind!
Ugh... I am not looking forward to spring in tornado country. Even if we don't get that many here. They still make me vey nervous.
Have you got your weather alert radio?
AIIEEEE!!!
