Is bringing me aggravation out the ying yang. I downloaded Microsoft office from work as I mentioned. Well it timed out because this new laptop is acting like it was using the free trial so if I can't get this fixed I'll have to download open office stuff AND since I unlinked the useless one drive there is no place to save to on this laptop because I'm not sure where to put folders. Sigh. I'll have to do some research. I do see how to do it but it requires me opening the registry and I'm always so nervous to do that.

New Year's resolutions: I don't think I need to do a lot of these. Too many and it will be overwhelming and then likely nothing will get done. So here they are

1. write, write and write some more
2. finish Red of Claw and Tooth (my 1980s monster hunting team story) and find some more beta readers
3. polish and submit These Haunted Hills. YES I keep saying this but I'm almost done. If last semester wasn't so rough it would have been done.
4. get active with [community profile] bitesizedcleaning and honestly get my place in some semblance of order because this can't going
5. keep up the exercise

I have been contending with sick parents for a while so I have no big writing thoughts so let me leave you with this, a few communities to help with writing.

1. Write Every Day. We're a low pressure writing community that has no permanent home. All you do is check in daily IF you've written. If you haven't c'est la vie, no one is coming for you. It's just that having a writing buddy(ies) can motivate you. This month it's in [personal profile] trobadora's journal

2. You can still sign up for a few more hours at [community profile] inkingitout It's a weekly word count accountability site. You do have to set a min. word count of 75K but again no penalty if you don't make it.


3. You also have a few more days to sign up for [community profile] getyourwordsout This is a monthly accountability site and they are pretty much sticklers for that sign up but again if you don't make your goal (either word count or like me, habit count, how many days you work it) and they offer all sorts of things, links, prompts, encouragement, chronic illness author posts and more.


I belong to all three and find benefit in them all. Feel free to share ones you use if you have them.
