The scourge of bloggers, guestbook administrators and all of us who have e-mail. Thank heavens for filters. Otherwise, a body would spend all their time deleting spam and not getting anything else done.
And speaking of Spam, I don’t even like the kind that comes in the rectangular tin with the key to open it. A great favourite, though, in the Monty Python skits.
After going along smoothly, the words flowing out of my fingers, I’ve found myself grinding to a halt again. I had to stop and check a few details and formulate how I would work them in to my writing. Simple things, really… what train would my hero take from the nearby train station into Aberdeen? And once I got him to the city, what time would he leave? Minor details perhaps, but details that need to be accounted for.
Hmmm… wonder if maybe a counter on the wordsearch puzzles that would start at the first click of the mouse might add to the fun? Or at very least the competitiveness… What are your thoughts on that?
I’ve created three new wordsearch puzzles and have uploaded them to the “funstuff” link on my website. I’ve added Scottish Castles, Scottish Single Malt Whiskies and Glasgow Pubs. Because of the length of some of the pub names ie King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, the font size in this puzzle is extremely small. However, CTRL+ makes the text larger and therefore easier to read.
So far so good. The laptop’s side of the cooling mat is definitely working and from what I’m feeling right now, my lap is much cooler, too. Time will really tell. So far it’s only been a wee while. But me thinks it’s going to work a charm.
They don’t happen often but when they do they’re usually pretty darn good. I happen to think this one is a cracker! I’ve figured out how to get Robert out of his arranged marriage to Letitia Christie so that he’s free to marry Sarah.
Not saying any more than that right now. If you want to know, you’ll have to wait until my novel is published and buy a copy so you can read it for yourself.
