Twice Upon a Time Chapter One Posted
My hard drive crashed. I’ve been unable to edit the files stored on it, which includes Twice Upon a Time. (And Jace’s and Eric’s books…) Quell horror!
Well, the hard drive has been replaced and I saved most of my files on a thumb drive, which I cannot find. I’m sure my cats have hidden it somewhere. It was on the coffee table the last time I saw it. I lost all my software in the hard drive crash, too, so had to repurchase MSOffice. Note to self: Hard drives are really important!
My computer has a new, blank hard drive, and though my speakers won’t work now (thanks to the “repair”), I can finally edit again. I found a copy of my files on an external hard drive–not the most recent ones (of course), but somewhat recent. I’m sure the missing thumb drive is under some random piece of furniture batted there by a naughty paw, but I’m not moving furniture.
Anyway, I promised this chapter a while back, but have been unable to deliver. Until now…
Chapter One of Twice Upon a Time
(Lovers’ Leap 2)
Does that mean the ebook will be available soon? Why, yes, yes it does. I still have one scene that is crap (yes, I recognize crap when I read it) and I’m sure homonyms are giving me trouble–they always do–so it needs more line editing, but now that I have a functional computer and actual files, I’m back in the game.
Coming VERY soon…
For your own sanity’s sake, get a Dropbox account: http://www.dropbox.com/. Also, OpenOffice is an excellent, free substitute for MS Office: http://www.openoffice.org/.
How soon is soon?
Love the chapter. Ready to read the rest when you get it done.
Thought I would tell you that I wanted to name my second Kindle (touch) Eric Sticks, hee, hee, funny, yum. But as I read it at the high school where I am librarian, and kids always want to know what I am reading, (oh the places I could go with that one…) a teacher/girl friend convinced me that they would google him, and while I have done a great deal of advertising for you among my adult friends, that maybe, I didn’t want to go there with the students. Sigh. Lost opportunity, for the naming. I’ll just have to think of it/him that way in my head. My old one is named Eugenides, after my favorite YA character in Megan Whelan Turner’s book The Thief.
I’ve had a similar computer experience (SCARE). I recommend Carbonite, online backup. Until I lost everything, I thought it was a “waste” of money. Not only did I get my files back, the customer service rep was really nice on the phone.
Glad you were able to salvage your files!!! Can’t wait for the next Sinners book!
