I’ve got good news and bad news.
The good news first: I sent the first three chapters of ‘Lost Lizards’ to Mojocastle Press. Stefani sent me an email saying “This is wicked.” (that’s a good thing, right?)
Any ways, she did say she wanted to see the rest of it.
Which brings us to the bad news: My computer crashed and died. The Geek Squad implied the Death Squad had taken a contract out on my poor little computer. Prognosis; Put her out of her misery.
More good news: They can save my documents.
Bad news: They can’t save my programs, which I paid good money for, but of course I can never keep up with disc. Once I load them onto the computer I toss them onto the table next to my chair. Eventually a pile accumulates atop of whatever is on the table. Eventually the pile ends up in the floor, then in a box next to the table, then in the garage, then . . .
I’ve never been able to figure out what happens to the things that end up in the garage. They are still in there, of course. Amid a million other boxes of unidentified, albeit extremely important, never throw it away, stuff. But if you can find anything in there you are luckier than I.
Good news: Melissa loaned me her computer!
Bad news: I can’t get on the internet with her computer. Don’t ask why.
Good news: I can get the book ready to send in. Copy it to a disc. And then find another computer to email it from.
Guess what? It’s all good.
