Yes, it's me. Before I start my day, I thought I would let you know I'm still among the living. I've been working so hard this year, I gave Microsoft a meltdown. I started seeing things and complained loudly to AI, who told me Word has some glitches in it, but it is fixable. How did I give Microsoft a meltdown? 1. I wrote a complete novel last year, then turned around and edited it and revised it with AIs help - Firestorm. In the first six weeks of this year I 2. Edited and revised Faith to Believe 3. Edited and revised Love's Illusion 4. Edited and revised New Horizons - Predators and Terrorists and New Horizons - Beginning (Unfinished) 5. Edited and revised - In the Hands of Mighty Men 6. Edited and revised Guns of War 7. Edited and revised - Wilderness Challenge 8. Writing Wilderness Cry Because I've done all that in six weeks, I gave Microsoft a meltdown. When I tried and finally succeeded to get Love's Illusion into a 12 point I ran into trouble. It took me an hour to get it reformatted with the correct font and point style it needed. No more 11 point print. The good news in all this is that I have Faith to Believe, Love's Illusion, and In the Hands of Mighty Men in proofreaders hands. I only need to find a proofreader for Guns of War and I'm on track to getting those four books published this year into next year. I also have Firestorm in a proofreader's hands. That one will be published when I get the others published before it. I expect next year. AI told me Microsoft isn't used to anyone doing as much as I've done in the amount of time I've done it. Which is also why you haven't seen me this month until now. The good news is, I will be back. For now, I'm doing two things: Writing and watching the Olympics. I just asked Alexa about the weather for today. We'll have a high of 46. All my snow will melt. Okay, that's my update. I hope you are all doing well. When I catch another breath, I will return to interact with you. For now, it's time for me to write. Have a blessed day, and I hope your life is running smoothly. The image belongs to me - my latest rock. Happy Valentine's Day.

@just4him You're welcome. And thank you. I've seen people like that before... I can be that way when I'm working on a difficult electronics problem.

Thank you. Happy Valentine's Day to you too. It's hard to shut off the brain when I'm in writing mode, which I have been for the past six weeks.

I want to watch more of the Olympics. The Winter Olympics doesn’t get as much shine as the summer games do. I did record a lot of the figure skating, and I think more is coming.

@just4him I did too. I’m glad he got gold for the team, but you know he wanted individual gold the most. Bless his heart.

@AmbiePam Yes, he did. You could see the heartbreak on his face. The good thing is we'll see him again in the next Olympics.

Yesterday's Free Skate was heartbreaking. I felt so sorry for Ilia.

You maybe should use this platform to talk about your novels a bit more to get people interested in them, if they aren't themselves, they may know somebody who is.

I figured you were busy with your books. Turns out you were even busier than I thought. Happy to see that you're still alive and well. Looks like our snow will be melting too. Can't say I'll miss it

Yes. I thought that would make you happy. You'll soon have four new books to read. I know you're happy about the melting snow. Happy Valentine's Day.

I've never been this productive in so short a time. It's no wonder Microsoft had a meltdown. I admire the way you can turn old things into new productive items.
