So Far Behind...

I wanted t take a few minutes and let everyone know how sorry I am for lagging behind. I am lost without all my goodies from my MIA Macbook. Yes, I have a new one and will learn to love it, I am POSITIVE about that. But I had so many book marks and programs and software that was compatible with a Mac that cost m*o*n*e*y to buy and pictures and graphics saved on my desktop and my wonderful I-love-you-to-death Photoshop and my Bamboo and my logo creator and...

Well, I guess you get my drift.

AND MY MANUSCRIPTS WRITTEN IN WORD DOCUMENTS!!!! Wa-wa:(

So, my fellow bloggers and faithful followers, my postings will be short and no where near as colorful as usual.

For now, I am singing, "You picked a fine time to leave me MAcBook. With four hungry blog tours and blog hops in the field..."

And yes, I'm POUTING!!!

    Sorry to hear about your tec problems, hope you get things sorted. In the meantime try to keep on smiling - computers hate that, it makes them nervous!

    Sorry you lost your files. Make plenty of backups with the new one. (I know that doesn't always help when you lose programs as well.)

    Oh no! You lost all your writing too? They can't recover it at all? I'm crying with you. Truly:(

    Bodacious bummer about loosing your files. Always backup. I learned this the hard way. (All our family photographs from the last 7 years were lost to a virus) But the programs are just gone anyway. So sorry! *waves*

    If you still have the hard drive you may be able to salvage it by turning it into an external hard drive and plugging it into your new via a usb cable.

    It works with PCs and unless your hard drive is what failed, should work with a mac.

      Try this page for help with a mac.

      It looks like the same system as with a pc. You need the cables and a case which come in a kit. I know it's easy for me to say that it's easy, but once you've done it you will say, 'is that all?'

    For having lost your files and programs, you're keeping up well... I haven't had tech issues and I'm having a hard time keeping up with YOU! In all seriousness, though... I do hope you recover your work :-(

Operation Agent Ink

UPDATE: PLEASE FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER YOU SIGN UP. Have you ever wondered what agents were dying to find in their inbox/slush pile? There have been many times I entered a contest and not even received a comment, not even from one of the agents. Or maybe the agent was kind enough to leave a comment that simply said, "Sorry, this just isn't what I'm looking for, but I love the premise and your voice." I always walk away feeling unsatisfied. If I had known exactly what the agent wanted beyond, "YA" or "Fantasy" I might not have even entered a contest I knew I wouldn't win! Even more, I wasted a very busy agents time! Well, your time of guessing is up! OPERATION AGENT INK to the rescue! That's right! This workshop will help aspiring authors get on the list of an agent's WISH LIST! When the workshop is over, your manuscript will be ready to view by a group of AMAZING agents who are dying to see what you've wri

Writer In Motion CP feedback

Hey beautiful guys and dolls! Here it is! My CP feedback edited story. Had a hard time with this, but I hope it makes sense. I've got a post I'm working on I plan to put up after Thanksgiving. Here ya go. Enjoy... Every morning I wake to carnival day.  Today, though, I have my key. If I don’t use it before midnight, my way of escape will gone. It’s a silver key with a twisted metal handle, a sapphire stone half moon and engraved stars. There’s a tiny inscription on the moon, but it’s so small, I’ve never been able to read it.I’ve always kept mine in my jewelry box, but today, I string it on a ribbon and tie it around my neck. My two best friends will be wearing theirs, too, and I wonder how they will escape this carnival of dreams. “What’s it for?” Cress asks as we stand in line for the swings. I run my fingertips over the entire silver surface. “I don’t know. It belonged to my grandmother,” I say. “Whatever.” She shrugs her shoulder in a dismissive way. “Have

EVER Blog Hop!!!!!

I joined a blog hop flash writing contest with/for Jessa Russo. It's in honor of her first EVER book release. I met Jessa during the Curiosity Quills Blog hop. I have never read a ghost story, but after reading Jessa's query and first few pages and then learning more about her ghost Frankie, I was so inspired, I fell in love -with Frankie. I was so inspired, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and write a story I had never written before and never thought I would write. Or even want to write. But I did, and I did. My piece for the contest is a small part of my bigger manuscript I wrote. I had to modify and change a few things so the story would make sense, but I think it works. At least, I hope it does:) How to vote: Comment at the end of the end of this post. You must have the word "VOTE" in your comment for it to be considered valid. VOTING IS OPEN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30TH!!!! Ready? Well, lets go! --> The Man With the Black Hood knocked
