I didn’t get much done yesterday. I tried, but it was just no go. I did a business call with my editor late in the afternoon. Susan was talking to me about the short story collection, and when I could do the intro pieces to the stories. But during the talk I told her about our computer problems in the last few days, and that I was having trouble getting back to the book. (It’s not her book by the way, Susan is my editor for Anita.) She made a very smart observation, that I didn’t trust my computer anymore. She was absolutely right. Heck, I barely trusted the tech before, but now . . . It feels like everything I write is going to vanish into the ether and never return. I write a few sentences I hit save, and wonder did it really save, or is just fibbing to me like last time. Now that I know what the back of my head is doing to the front, maybe it will help. I know when the revaluation came it was a relief like a weight had been lifted. I could breathe again. We’ll see if it actually translates into pages. I think I will begin my day with long hand, and once I get enough to prime the pump, I’ll switch to the computer. We’ll see how it goes.
