Susan Stephens' Writing Diary

OOPS!
After my rather light-hearted mention of computer-type problems yesterday I switched on this morning to total chaos. I had somehow gained fifty pages, and when I tried to track them down they came up in gobbledy-gook, wiping out all previous work on Expecting His Royal Baby, which is part of the fab' Niroli series for 2007.

I called on minimus who gained high marks in her uni' pooter tech course to come take a look.
Several grimaces later she tells me that computers are only supposed to last three or so years.
What?! Doesn't she realise how long I had my Amstrad? And that's even before we get onto the subject of mobile phones. I was still carrying a brick around when everyone else was taking cine film...

However, I digress. Thank goodness for hard copy, which thanks to the dire warnings of W-W my fantastic web mistress with ARTEMIS WEB DESIGN, I always keep I have managed to retype mid section of book at high speed, and have now transferred onto dh's computer. (So, not only do I need a new TV this weekend, I need a new computer too!) Ack! Penury! Again!

So, I think we all deserve a big bunch of flowers to cheer us up...
Here you are, ladies... cyber roses, with my compliments!


(I couldn't decide which pic I liked best, so I give you both-



plus some choc to go with them!)


Mmmm, feeling better already!

Love to all, and happy reading everyone!
