This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.

This week was more computer mess.

It has also been flying by.

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.

This week has been a flat mess. I updated windows because it wanted me to…only to have it bork my desktop. Yes I have a laptop that I can do work on…but it is old as hell and it does not have my current files. And guess who has been lax about backing up the last two weeks?? Yeah so it is my own fault. Still, Joe is trying to save my files. I should know by later today if I have to repeat two weeks worth of publishing work.

Thankfully it is not impossible. Just a pain. I plan to switch OS to Linux. The only reason I have stuck to Windows so long is many of my games do not like Linux. I have switched to freeware or open source a long time ago to make using Linux on my laptop easier. I am wanting to try Bazzite. I have Mint on my Laptop. (yeah I am a computer geek. lol)

The stress of my computer going down has the insomnia back.

Joe has been kind enough to let me use his computer. That has kept me able to do. I got Serena’s Kid’s week book set up. I also got one of mine. I am hoping that all the lovely kid’s books I wrote last year while I was so sick I will be able to get set up and ready for kid’s week. This years offerings are already shaping up to be amazing. We have at least one more in the Odd Sock Series by Michelle Caine and one by Andrew McDowell that is just adorable. I know at least one other author is attempting to meet the deadline…plus the children’s anthology.

Adding in Serena’s and at least two maybe four from me… we will have a delightful lineup.

I wish I could say I have been stress writing this week.,.. My mind has been bouncing due to wondering how much work I have ahead of me. So I got some writing in, and some art…but as is the way of such things… Not near the amount I would have liked.

I am surprised that I managed so much. Between editing, book formatting, and everything around me breaking…been a bad week for appliances here.

Fae corps is doing a kids week anthology this year….I am going to be busy for the next few months. Just as the pirate ones release the kids one and all the kids books will be coming together. I wanted to do Drawtober this year as well. I don’t know if I will be able to. I am going try though. That means I might be posting more art next month.

This is my work-in-progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.

I got quite a bit written this week.

Next week I am not expecting to do as well. This is going to be a busy publishing week for me. I am putting together two anthologies (Across the Stolen Seas is being split), doing the editing for that… Then I have to double-check my September links. (including Andrew McDowell’s Years’ worth of Thoughts and my own Kissed by Verse) and work on my October books. (which will include Serena’s Stacked Nightmares.) So squeezing in time to write may be difficult.

Also, I decided to give my romance Pen Name a whirl, as I have a couple of romance stories that have been needing to be written. So much like Serena’s Stacked Nightmares, Heaven’s Forgotten Tales, and Apocalypse Atheneum…I started a book for her to write in. Meet Alchemy by Susan Ann Andrews. (That is my originally planned pen name when I was nine and wanting to be an author.)

the numbers say that I have written – but admittedly this week is a bit of a blur. I believe that I blinked.

This was a week of ups and downs. Migraine hit. my hand got a steroid shot for a “trigger finger.” So I was unable to use my dominant hand for half of the week. However the pain let up within 2 days of the shot. I still have a knot but I have better mobility than I did.

Most of the actual writing was done in the last two days. I am just glad to have use of my hand.
