I’m on medical leave (long story, not going into it) so I have some time to write. I try to write at least 1000 words a day, in between the recovery. I’m coming up with some good ideas, and I’m over half-way through the novel. I’m stuck a little on how the police handle mail, and what they had available in the year 2000 with computers. Did cops or the feds have hackers on the payroll?<\/p>\n
MySpace and Twitter didn’t exist, neither did Facebook or other social media sites. AOL and Usenet were the big community sites. I have to cast back in my own memory what AOL was like at the time. It’s challenging, because the old memory isn’t what it used to be, and I have no idea what cops could do then. Did they look up IP addresses? Did they know how to find people from an email?<\/p>\n
Of course, I could just gloss over it like I plan on doing with War Mage. Though it bothers me.<\/p>\n
“Capricorn” is finished, edited and ready to go. I had planned on working on Earth<\/em> this weekend but I got distracted with other recovery work. “Family Bonds,” the short story tie-in for Grimaulkin Redeemed<\/em>, is also done and formatted. When I do the laundry, I’ll work on Earth<\/em> (because it’s on the computer in the laundry room).<\/p>\n In two weeks I’ll be at the Warwick Public Library selling books, signing them, and giving away the short story tie-ins (that are very cool). April 21 from 10-2. Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m on medical leave (long story, not going into it) so I have some time to write.
