Well, it’s been an interesting 4 1/2 days, during which a lot of email has gone unanswered, not to mention comments on various venues.  You might think I had used the time saved to d0 useful things like reorganize, straighten up, clean…but you know me better than that.  I kept tinkering with Crown of Renewal.   After all, I couldn’t email it to Editor or Agent…so I began the nose-to-the-floor crawl for clues.

Nit-picking.  Again.    Proving once again that no matter how many times you go through a manuscript, there is always something to fix, improve, re-phrase.     On Saturday (day 3)  I drove into the city to my web-guru’s house and begged the use of her computer to email that version of Crown to my agent, with a note to send it on to Editor if I hadn’t regained internet access by Sunday night.   Which I did, but after midnight his time.    So the finicky changing of words and phrases between about 1 pm on Saturday and now will need to be sent tomorrow morning, if we have a connection then.

Also did some knitting.  The second pair of “short socks” is onto the heel flap of both.   Also did some bike riding in very hot temperatures.   Not ideal, but the mileage continues to grow as the physical therapy has reduced the pain.

I have no reason to over-trust our ISP  and though there are four little lights on our DSL modem (as there should be) now, the four cheerful estimates of time-until-repair that were missed have me a bit twitchy.    I have hundreds of emails to comb through for important business stuff, so another actual post about the book will be delayed even more.  Apologies.
