How do I get to my blog?
Once again I've come to Goodreads to blog, signed in and been unable to find the link that takes me to this page where I'm writing now. New blog post. Weird. If anybody's reading this (and I don't think anybody is but that's okay for now) please drop me a line and tell me the easy way to get to my own blog. For now I just go to Google and put in "blogging not logging" get to it that way.
The good news is that I've upgraded my Dragon Dictate software and acquired my buddy, Al Booth's old iMac which has so much more power so that not only do I have a new program but much more processing capability so that it runs very smoothly all of its very necessary editing functions and spelling functions easily attainable. Since I've been a public speaker all my life and I'm fairly comfortable speaking out loud and have used some version of voice to text for at least 15 years I've grown pretty comfortable with this process and I love it.
So I've been working on Missing Piece book 3 of my spell crossed series and I'm managing to be pretty delighted with how it's going. I probably said in previous posts that I've become a writer of "faith" my faith being that I will maintain high enough imagination to make virtues out of my narrative challenges. Faith that things will continue to unfold within the very general parentheses of the plot line I have. Also I'm behaving myself in terms of not going off on huge poetic tangents. Trying to keep a lot of it action and dialogue oriented. I sent a proto-version of Chapter 1 to Dundurn in the hopes that because it's only 4 pages they may be able to put it in at the end of Book 2, Second Kiss. All of this is helped by the fact that I have this new toy that's dictated all of what you've just read without a single mistake so far. Though I did have to capitalize a few things. Later — RP
