I semi-crashed my system today because I overloaded the memory. In a move of inspired madness, I had six scrivener functions open, one full manuscript, two servers with numerous windows, various other M.S word documents, and I failed to have my word stats loaded in Dropbox.

I have been trying to sell my late father's retirement condo for the past three years. Many offers have fallen through ( Read more... )

I have just signed two contracts for a couple of my flash pieces destined for a cat anthology. They are 'The Last and Best Hiss' and 'No Tears for an Innocent.' Sorry, I had to take them down from my webpage and from Readwave as I don't own the rights any longer. The anthology, to be published by Kristell Ink, should be out before xmas. Yay!
