The Ultimate Writer's Helper!

I am so loving this! Being online is doing wonderful things for my writing. I’m getting more done this month than I have in the past two years. I’m e-mailing my writer friend, we’re discussing problems as we write, and both our stories are getting better. I take breaks to check the message boards and […]

The Joys of Message Boards…

Okay, the internet proved its usefulness once again. I posted as a joke, just because there was nothing on the board, and received a very insightful response that sent me scurrying to re-write. Of course, I knew that to a Marine, a gun is never just a gun. It’s a SAW, or a Glock, or

Irritants

I’m starting to get irritated. I love my ISP, mostly, they make it so easy. I don’t want to learn all this computer stuff, but I want my public pages to look like I know it, so I really appreciate the help. But I can’t get my mail center to display right. There’s no reason

Rookie Mistakes

I avoided the chat rooms last night, and spent a long time in an IM for technical help, so I don’t have anything new. Guess I’ll report my most embarrassing online moments, then. I scared a young lady earlier this week. I used search on the message boards, using ‘creative writing.’ I found a message
