Reading this week

I've been reading this week and have decided something. To me a book is good if I don't want to put it down. And it doesn't have to do with the action necessarily. If a book holds my attention and interest then that is how I judge it to be a good book and good writing. I am reading Lord of the Rings Fellowship this week and don't want to put it down, I want to know what happens next. Although I've seen the movies I can't help it I am finding things out I didn't know before. I like that. I love to read and don't do it enough. But I love this book and think JRR Tolkien was a good writer. I hope that my own writing does that for other people it keeps them intrigued.

Finished the input.

Well tonight I finished putting the hand written book into the computer. Now I will read through it and make changes and add things to make it a little longer if I can. I have a tendency to write short books, I'd like to have a story keep going if I could. So far that's not the way they go though. Oh well. I'll keep trying.

saved it.

my husband and a friend were able to save my data and restore my laptop. I am thrilled now I can get back to work. It was hard to be without the use of my computer for almost a week.

getting a computer virus.

I do my work on my laptop and it got a virus Wednsday. I am so unhappy. If I don't buy the program to fix the virus I may lose everything. I think it is kind of mean for someone to do that to people just to sell their product. "Internet Security 2010" Don't do it. Hopefully the IT person at my husbands work can save my files and clean out the virus. I feel lost with out using my computer, it's weird huh. I really don't want to have to replace it everything is on there, I had planned to back up things and just hadn't got around to it yet. I've learned something now.

cleaning out the cobwebs.

sometimes my mind is just to busy to write. I try but just can't seem to get my thoughts to stay on task. So the writing is put on hold for a while, but then I can't seem to do anything else either because I want to be writing. I guess I just have to clear out my head with all the mess inside and sweep out the cobwebs. Shake it off and just do it.
