In Which There Are Writing Woes


After a few weeks of plugging along here and there, I finally finished editing the first four scenes of my historical romance, "Coming Home".


But then Scrivener (the editing/formatting program I prefer) decided to EAT IT ALL. That is a month (and most especially the last two days) worth of work - GONE.


 NOT HAPPY! Thankfully, I did print out the entire hot ass mess of a manuscript, and had already inked it all up; but I had also added a bunch of descriptions that I had just skipped over before.
I cannot get this information back :(


IRRITATED!!

So, to calm down, I decided to irritate my neighbors by practicing my harmonica.


. I am horrible, but determined to play this instrument. I can almost get through Moon River and Blowin' in the Wind. 

But then, I discovered a package of frozen leeks in my freezer. Just after that, I looked on top of the fridge, finding potatoes and an onion.

Guess who is making Potato Leek Soup this week?!

YAY!!!!
and
BACK YOUR WORK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has been a post.

I promise to get more on the ball with this, life has been crazy lately.

However, I do have exciting news:
I just finished the first super - rough, but workable draft of my novel, "Coming Home."
Now I get to start playing with Scrivener, do the spell checking, add the missing bits, finish confirming my research and start putting it all together!

YAY!






Now that the .gif par-tay is over - off to try and re-understand the Scrivener tutorial!
