Been at my writings group meeting. Far fewere members made the last two so the die-off may be happening.

Tonight I reserved my rental car for my vegas Trip.

This is going to be fun.

I am not going to Conjecture. I looked t the programming and nothing appealed to me. So much so that today instead of going to the convention I stayed home with my sweetie-wfe and assembled IKEA furniture.

Let me give a shout out to my firend Gail Carriger on the 1 year anniversary of the publication of her first novel, ‘Soulless.’ It has abeen a real joy watching the last year go by and see her well-deservbed successes pile up.

Bloggin may be light to weekeend as I will be at a local convention, Conjecture.

Went to the writers group meeting tonight. I am very glad I joined. We have writers at all different levels of ability and the mix-up is very energizing and fosters creativity.

The only downside to tonight’s meeting was weather really reduced our turn-out. The freeways and roads were jammed from a sudden storm through the area.

I took a few days off after finishing Cawdor, but tomorrow I return to the grind of writing every night.

I’ll be working on pitch paragraphs and synopses for Cawdor. That sounds easy but it is the kind of writing I do least well.

Tonight I’m going to be with a stomach ache.

But happy tired, as I have finished the beta read copy of Cawdor.

If you want to beta-read this novel, let me know.

The manuscript will be finished by week’s end. Then it’s off to beta readers.

My fingers are crossed.

— Okay the comments are WAY off-topic. Please keep the political comments on political threads. Not all my friends are into politics you know.

For writers, Game-masters, and any who needs to manage a large amount of disparate data, I have been pointed at a great piece of software for the Mac. (I haven’t investigated if they have Windows version yet.)

The software is VooDoo Pad, and it operates as a self-contained no complicated install wiki. I am not a computer person so I needed software that pretty much just runs without a lot fo set-up from me. I have looked at wiki for quite awhile but never found one that was as easy to use as voodoo pad.

I got tipped off to it by my writer’s support group and I just love it. IT will make a great tool for keeping track of all the data generated in creating the fiction universes that my various novels take place in.

So, Thursday night I got the last of the chapter edits entered. Now I have six scenes to write and insert and I will be done!
