Hello,

Thank you for the likes and follows.

Good News Everyone! My laptop could not be repaired. Fortunately, I have accidental damage protection. This insurance allowed me to get a replacement product. The device should arrive within a week or two. My original machine was a custom build, HP did offer me that option, but they could not confirm delivery, they build the machines in China. I took the second option which was to accept what they already have in stock. I have downgraded from a 17 inch multi-touch screen, 1 terabyte storage to a 15 inch multi-touch screen, 512 GB storage. Different from what I had before but my health concerns have convince me that a smaller machine might be helpful. If the world decides to pause on its pathway to hell and I am given the chance I am getting a custom build 1 terabyte from China. I think I am going to miss that 1 terabyte. There are more details but these are important to me.

Meanwhile I found a bluetooth keyboard to help me with my tablet use. It has worked on some things but not on everything. I feel very out of step with technology but then still feel apart of things when I take part in a live stream. I know, it sounds odd but this is where I am in the world. I’m middle age and all I really want to do, is use my creative brain to have a decent life. When I say decent, I mean content, I want to be able to pay my bills and buy my wants with ease. That does not require more wealth than I can handle just enough to take care of myself and family. This is a tangent I didn’t mean to go down. Honestly I don’t think it is any different than what many of us want in this world. So this segment stays.

I apologize for missing the Wednesday post. I hadn’t set up the BT keyboard and eventhough the idea was a good one. I am having difficulty writing about it. I’m annoyed about this even handwriting is a problem but now that I have written about it here. I have to work on it. That is the status of writing news.

In closing, I am not posting a picture along with this entry. I don’t have the energy to find one. Every week I hope the best for everyone reading the updates and the quotes for writers. I am still doing that and remember be kind.

Hello,

Thank you for the likes and follows.

I apologize for the late post. You know the situation. I am using other methods and it is not going as well as I would like. Fortunately, I refused to give up. The goal for this quarter is to remain consistent. It feels like a step back but I have decided to think of this as a holding pattern.

With this in mind, I am working on a post for Wednesday. It will not be an outright review just thoughts on some books, fandoms, and what gets attention the good and the bad.

The writing goal is the same as last week complete two scenes in Star Crossed and complete the short story with the working title Dark Science Manifesto. I was feeling pretentious when I thought up that title. I can’t think of calling it something else. I have another story in development that has gone through several working title changes. I know something like that should not bother me and yet it does.

That is all I can type with the devices, I am using Despite my optimism, fear and uncertainty are running rampant around the world. I am not saying I can change the world by myself, I understand it is a group effort. The smallest action can add up to the largest result. This is why I remind myself and others to be kind.
