Finished

It took a few hours yesterday and about three today to get all the downloads taken care of from the Dropbox site to my computer, but happily, it's done and now I don't need to worry about my manuscripts any longer. My next chore will be getting them divided into the folders they were before I started downloading all of them. My pictures are also downloaded. So, I have everything I need back on the computer. I shouldn't have any further problems with my computer. At least I hope not. While I was downloading my manuscripts, I did see quite a few articles - short stories - I wrote, I completely forgot about. You might see some of those in the future. Something to post when I don't know what to post. Now that that's finished, I did promise myself I would write every day. I haven't done that yet. So, I'm going to pull out Thread of Evidence and get back to work on it. I have a lot to do getting it trimmed down to a proper book. I'm not writing War and Peace after all, so it shouldn't look like I am. If I can trim a hundred pages off it, I'll be happy. I think I can do that. How has your day been? Thanks for reading. I should be back later to continue interacting with you all. After all, this is my second home. I need to come home once in a while so I can visit with you all. Have a great day.

Nice to have that all finished I bet. I use a thumb disk for my manuscripts, documents and pictures. One for each. That way I have them at my fingertips whenever I want them. No worries. And my computer is freer and runs smoother without a lot of stuff on it.

I hope so too. Though I don't want to sacrifice the story, just tighten it up a bit.

@just4him I didn't see him all day, because I wasn't home all day. I did see your FB post and commented. You must look at my last post of Doodles. 14 second video speaks for itself.

@DianneN Here or on FB? I'll have to go check it out. I was there today liking and commenting on all the great remarks and encouragement. I'm still amazed every time I look at that set of pictures. Just 30 days for that to take place. The other pictures you can hardly notice it and then wham, it's all in plain sight.

@Hannihar I edit many times before I'm satisfied. With the current book I'm getting ready to publish, I'm also needing to do a bit of revision. It's coming along well.

@just4him I believe you. For me the only short story I did was a lot of work to get ready too. I can imagine with several books there is a lot more for you to do.
