When it rains...

Ever have one of times in your life where it seems like everything is crazy and going wrong?  Lately, it's seemed like that's what my life has been.

My trusty laptop decided to die - just as I finished a novel.  I've been fighting migraines for the past week, and it's drawing ever closer to the end of summer, which means I need to sort out another means of steady income once the kids go back to school.

But I have a secret.  THE Secret.  I know it sounds silly, but it seems to work.  I put it out to the cosmos that I would be able to replace my computer yesterday - and found a decent replacement on ebay.  I put it out that my head would stop hurting, and well - okay, that's still open.  But when my laptop comes in?  I'll be able to get my novel out in the world.  And I think that may be the greatest part of all.

So what's the novel?  It currently called Heartless, and it's the tale of how The Queen of Hearts of Wonderland became the angry, beheading fanatic that she is during Alice's adventures.  I really hope everyone will enjoy it. :)

I hope your week is treating you well!  We'll talk soon!

The world's worst timing!

I hope that everyone had a safe and happy Independence Day!

I have bad news and good news!  Just in time for a Friday night (or Saturday morning, as the case may be):

The good news?  I finished editing my Camp Nanowrimo work and already have an idea for another story!

The bad news?  My laptop needs a repair and I am BROKE!

Sadly, this doesn't explain my absence from my blog.  That, I'm afraid can only be explained by my laziness and the fact that if I'm writing, I'd like it to be fiction!  But it does, however, explain why I'll be slow on writing and why, until I find a solution - no more music mondays. :(

Until it all gets fixed, I want to know - what sort of music motivates you?
