Jumping back in :).

[marfisk]

After a long break to finish off several other responsibilities, it took me a bit to get back into writing this book. The 80+ temperatures and muggy day didn't help either ;). Still, I ended up with two scenes that I like a lot and almost 4k today alone. In my original outline, moon woman, as Wardah calls her, had a biggish role. Then, I fine tuned the outline and she became a footnote. Well, she's crept her way back in again and it will be interesting how she leaves it. Oh! Just had a neat idea for it ;).

Tell me about it. It doesn't even have to be hot chocolate to put me in a tizzy. My cat knocked over a glass of water that took out both my keyboard and mouse...thankfully only a temporary loss as extensive cleaning and a day or so to dry brought them back, but my stress level went through the roof :p. If he wasn't so cute, I'd have strangled the little beast.

But, even with keyboard and mouse disabled, my to edit pile didn't get ruined...or go away either :p.

But you don't really want it to go away, either. Diminish, perhaps, but if it were ever completely gone, that would probably indicate a decrease in creativity -- not good.

I understand they make skins you can put over your keyboard just to help prevent such accidents. Haven't gotten one myself because I like the feel of keys beneath my fingers, but it's an idea if your cats are causing problems. (My cats know better than to get up by my computer. Now if only I could break my tea habit, as well as my eating-lunch-at-the-computer habit. :) )

Only too true. I wouldn't want it to go away. What I really want is for it to be in constant motion. Thing added to the bottom and things sent over the wire...I'm still working on that.

With regards to the cat, it was a one time thing and he's grown to big to hang out on my crowded desk anyway. I have drinks at my desk, but I'm normally VERY careful with them. I only eat almonds and M&M at my desk, cause they don't muck with the keys. Though a skin sounds good, I have arm problems and anything extra between me and the keys is a bad idea. I even have to keep my nails short ;).
