... a day off work ...
April 2, 1999

 Dear Stephen, Thanks for your offer to send me your writer's block. Please do send it along as it sounds fascinating. However, I was wondering if it was possible that you print it out and send me the hard copy rather than an e-copy. See, I thought I would take you concept one step further. Every time I want to tell a new story, I'll copy your block, then actually write with a hammer and chisel. I'm sure it will help me visualize the story much better than the method I currently use.   [grin] I stayed up late last night finishing Children of God, so I slept until quite late this morning. Went through a couple business things in the morning, then spent the early part of the afternoon looking at our television (which keeps dying for some unknown reason) and installing a network card in Brigid's computer. Yes, we are the all-American geek family--home network and all. At least now Brigid can print stuff without the awkwardness of copying to disk, and all that junk. Next up will be getting her internet access. The installation even went pretty well. Now I've decided that the late afternoon will be dedicated to Getting My Act Together--that being the process of actually cleaning my desk and handling all those little Things To Do that hang around like leeches, sucking desk space and mind power from crucial tasks. If I get any time here thie evening, I'll see about getting int the new fantasy story. Otherwise, it'll wait until tomorrow. Have a great day.  Daily Persistence is © Ron Collins |
