You may have noticed I’ve been gone a while. That was due to several factors including illness, a very busy period at work, trying to write more, a vacation and general laziness (not in that order).
However, I’ve since got over my bronchitis, killed my work assignment and had a blast on vacation in St. Vincent (My first 5 star resort! Pictures to come!). When life gets that good, it follows that something not so great might happen and that was this week, when I tried to put on my computer and return to my writing schedule.
Suffice it to say, I paid $1,000 to fix this thing in May, and it’s not working. Again. I was heartbroken. Especially since my vacation has left me with cashflow problems the like of Bear Stearns before it died a swift, painful death.
Worse, I have no computer to write on.
But there are angels in the world, and one of them is my sister. So I am getting an early Christmas/Birthday present in the form of my very first laptop ever. I’m a bit nervous about using a smaller device and I will also need stuff like a new desk, but I’m incredibly happy to be getting a new machine.
Unfortunately, this means writing and blogging will also take just a bit longer before I start up again, but hopefully this time I’ll be able to keep at it for a while. My priority these days is writing though, so I’ll not be as frequent a poster as I used to be, as you probably already noticed.
In the meantime, I’ll post cool stuff I find on the internet when I can. So here’s a link to a helpful blog on 51 things that break reader immersion for my writing friends out there.
Till we meet again…stay thirsty, my friends!

1. Welcome back. 2. Take your time; your readers ain’t going anywhere. 3. If telling us that you live in T&T and vacation in St. Vincent was intended to stoke intense jealousy, it’s working. 4. I haven’t forgotten the 3-day quote thingamy. It’s coming. 5. Just keep doing what you do.
Thanks! It really helps to know it’s not a big deal. And although I didn’t mean to cause jealousy, I think that vacation is one that would create it lol.
Glad you’re back and feeling better!
And laptops are really rather nice to work with. Not being tied to a given area to work is a rather joyous thing.
Thanks! Yes, that is a plus I’m looking forward to.
Yay for a new laptop. Are you finding it more difficult or easier to use than a desktop?
A bit. The screen is so much smaller and I have a desktop set up, but at least I have my wireless keyboard so I can still type comfortably. I think I’ll adjust with time.
