The Woman picked a bad time to get sick. My goal was to post every day in February, and she had to go an muck that up. But, she feels better now and says she'll make sure I get to blog more often, even if it's not every day.
Yeah, let's not hold out breaths...
But, we are back to work. The first draft on the third Wick book is done and is being proofed. We know there are some deep rewrites to be made; the story is awesome and fun but the narrative lags in a few places and I want that tightened up (pretty much the same thing happens with every book, so it's not an indication of suckage, just that we write without editing as we go along.) ((This is the royal "we" since we all know I write my books all by myself.)) (((Shuddup.)))
I did learn something valuable while working this week. If you roll onto the keyboard, you can highlight the entire document, and then if your head hits the touch-screen while you're trying to get up, you can delete the whole thing. FOR REALZ.
I almost had a panic attack when the Woman said, "Wonderful, furball, you just erased your entire book." But then she closed it without saving and opened it back up from the file in the cloud, and we only lost like 3 typo corrections.
Really she should know better than to sit here in the comfy chair to work, because I'm always going to sit on the arm of the chair to snoopervise, and experience should tell her that sometimes a kitty accidentally touches the screen. She should be grateful I didn't open another porn link. She still hasn't recovered from the last time.
Well, she says she hasn't. Secretly, I think she enjoyed it.

Whoa, Max. That was kinda close. Thank cod for the cloud.
Max, when the Woman is sick, make her get you Dragon. I used it for college and it's great. It learns your speech, so it would get used to all of the meow nuances. Then you could really write your books.
I think you just convinced my human to spring for a Cloud account. Because she's been dragging her feet on that....
I'm glad she is getting better. I hope that means she'll get up and get you some real live dead something for you to nibble on while you sit by the fire
We are glad the Woman is feeling better! THat is a cool trick deleting the book!
