Where Did I Put My Glasses

 The things you find when you go looking for something else!

Not my glasses; they're on my face where I can keep an eye on the elusive buggers.

Musing about starting to write again, I've spent several days trying to decide where to ACTUALLY start, whether pen to paper in a notebook - which ultimately has to be transcribed anyway, to various word processors I have on my laptop. Or on the laptop itself. Or the Chromebook, which could be shared with the laptop...

I checked into Writing.com, of which I've been a member since avian dinosaurs escaped the Great Extinction. I was wondering if their word processing system might suit - it didn't, but it's a good system - and I discovered a long-ago-written romance. I'd posted it on the site years ago and forgot it was there. If it's not too embarrassing, I might work on it here.

Here?

Yes, I decided to write my blog and incorporate my novel efforts... here. On Blogspot. After all, I paid for the domain so I should damn-well be using it.

Anyway, watch this space.

If I don't forget.

Cuz I'm old.

Oh, by the way, my main project is still Wrath of Mool (working title) but other tales fall into my brain cavity every now and again so who knows.

Cheers!

Renewing My Writing Career

When I woke up this morning I had no idea that I was going to go whole hog and actually buy a web domain with Google. I have been upset with Wordpress for some time simply because they do NOT provide the proper tools to keep out other 'tools' that constantly spam, hack, and otherwise ruin my blogging experience over there. Every morning I clear my spam folder and diligently enter IP addresses, trigger words and phrases, mostly from Russian spammers, translating the Cyrillic so I know which to copy and paste, etc., would-be sellers of viagra and cialis, and let me tell you, it's exhausting, time consuming, and seemingly endless. And I refuse to pay further money for a service like Akismet or the like. Back To Blogger Blogger, even the free version, has always been good to me. It has plenty of scope in regard to visual site setup, is user friendly, because, quite frankly I have no time to keep up with coding anymore as that, too, is exhausting. Interesting, but ex

I'm Playing Sims 2 Again

Image
 When The Sims first came out over twenty years ago, I fell head over heels in love with the game. I've been playing off and on, through all the expansions and sequels, since then. My favourite version has always been The Sims 2 and recently I've stumbled on some YouTube Creators who play the game so differently than how I do. They are very knowledgeable and I have learned more about The Sims in the past two weeks than I have since its inception. For instance, I eventually accepted as a given the fact that the game would corrupt itself somehow eventually, usually sooner rather than later, and I would have to start anew. I learned to explore the innards of my EA Games files, and by trial and error, what goes where and does this. When Origin came out with The Ultimate Collection of the Sims 2 , I was over the moon; no more hours of uploading my endless collection of discs, base game and all its many expansions. I could now fiddle to my heart's content and when (not 'if

Preptober

The excitement is building. At least with me. When I tell others I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year, which admittedly aren't many people, they say, "Oh, that's nice," or something equally magnanimous. Which I suppose is better than, "Yeah, right." Nano prep actually started mid-September and I was thrilled to actually be on time, rather than look up from some video game mid-November and go, "Oh... ".  Anyone who knows me knows I like to write and have always aspired to be a writer. Well, this year I am determined to kick off my writing career with 50,000 words. A quiz told me I'm a Plantser with leanings toward the total anarchy of Pantsing. I didn't actually know this and thought all writers wrote like Stephen King until I saw a few YouTube videos about planning and plotting out a novel - which totally scared the beejeebers out of me, by the way - and realized there must be a niche for me. I decided to follow one of the recommended Plottin
