So here we are. It's Thursday, the day that I should have had chapter one polished to a gleaming jewel. What I actually have is a rewritten chapter one that I am happier with than the rough draft. Rather than post it here, I am trying to post on a writer's forum for some much needed feedback. If it comes back reader worthy, I'll post a snippet here.
I am listening to Norah Jones on the iPod. I turn to her when I am in need of soothing sounds.
Why is it the internet always seems to slow down at the precise moment when you are trying to post something? I sit here watching the little circle spin endlessly around, and wonder if that is just some programmers cruel little trick.
I envision miniature evil minions running rampant thru the Internet signals creating roadblocks for the information highway. The programmers know this, but they also know there is nothing they can do to stop the evil minions. They present you with the rotating circles knowing that you will eventually just give up on this try and come back later.
And that's exactly what I do. What other choice do I have against evil little minions and cruel programmers?
I want you to write THAT story. Of course, it has a predictable ending. The humans ask the computer a question it can't possibly answer like "How does love feel?" and it seizes up... no wait. That would cause more problems posting. That won't work.
