Thanks, Gwen! I’ve never played Freecell, though I hear it can be addictive. Let me know what the nieces and nephews say about the new games. A lot of them seem to be quest games, which require longer than I want to devote. Good luck getting back in the swing.

I was once a big Columns fan (Sega version of Tetris) but now stick to Freecell. I must say, the flashy new video games look interesting; maybe I’ll visit some nieces or nephews who’ll let me play.

Your writing pal,
Gwen

I’m struggling this very minute with procrastination. I find a million things that need doing to avoid writing. In my case, I must build up confidence in what ends up on the page, and I’ll be more likely to write the next sentence.

Thanks for reminding me to stay on track.

Glad you like the site. Thanks so much! I love that banner, too, and I give all credit to Liz, who created it.

Eilis, I heard someone recommend that book at a program this weekend. It sounds interesting, but I thought you already knew how to plot! I’m trying to learn to use the brand-new storyboard a couple of my friends made for me. Good luck with your plotting!

Amy, load the game anyway! Sometimes you need a break. I sometimes find things flitting through my brain that actually turn out to be usable, with all due respect to Mr. Card. I think his advice usually holds true, and especially so if you’re playing a more intense sort of game. I’ve heard Minesweeper kills a lot of time, too.

The only reason I can’t gaze out the window is that I keep the shade drawn because we’re so close to the street. I substitute email. *sigh*

Keep up the good work. I know you’re one of those souls hunched over the keyboard while I’m one of those gazing out the window.
