Lazy weekend
Hope everyone had a great weekend. I should have done some writing. But I haven't had a three day weekend in a while and i took one day off to do nothing. I will get all caught up writing wise this week. I started on a new way of writing at work so I don't have to clug around my dinosaur laptop. I see a new one in my future I really need a new one anyway. So more writing info late on this week.

Some research I came across might give you an idea on what i might be doing.
LilithMain article: LilithThe text is best known because of its reference to Lilith, and it is the fifth of Ben Sira's responses to King Nebuchadnezzar. It is reproduced here in its entirety:
Soon afterward the young son of the king took ill. Said Nebuchadnezzar, "Heal my son. If you don't, I will kill you." Ben Sira immediately sat down and wrote an amulet with the Holy Name, and he inscribed on it the angels in charge of medicine by their names, forms, and images, and by their wings, hands, and feet. Nebuchadnezzar looked at the amulet. "Who are these?""The angels who are in charge of medicine: Snvi, Snsvi, and Smnglof (in English: Senoy, Sansenoy and Semangelof). While God created Adam, who was alone, He said, 'It is not good for man to be alone' (Genesis 2:18). He also created a woman, from the earth, as He had created Adam himself, and called her Lilith. Adam and Lilith immediately began to fight. She said, 'I will not lie below,' and he said, 'I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the superior one.' Lilith responded, 'We are equal to each other inasmuch as we were both created from the earth.' But they would not listen to one another. When Lilith saw this, she pronounced the Ineffable Name and flew away into the air. Adam stood in prayer before his Creator: 'Sovereign of the universe!' he said, 'the woman you gave me has run away.' At once, the Holy One, blessed be He, sent these three angels to bring her back."Said the Holy One to Adam, 'If she agrees to come back, what is made is good. If not, she must permit one hundred of her children to die every day.' The angels left God and pursued Lilith, whom they overtook in the midst of the sea, in the mighty waters wherein the Egyptians were destined to drown. They told her God's word, but she did not wish to return. The angels said, 'We shall drown you in the sea.'"'Leave me!' she said. 'I was created only to cause sickness to infants. If the infant is male, I have dominion over him for eight days after his birth, and if female, for twenty days.'"When the angels heard Lilith's words, they insisted she go back. But she swore to them by the name of the living and eternal God: 'Whenever I see you or your names or your forms in an amulet, I will have no power over that infant.' She also agreed to have one hundred of her children die every day. Accordingly, every day one hundred demons perish, and for the same reason, we write the angels names on the amulets of young children. When Lilith sees their names, she remembers her oath, and the child recovers."

eh
Editing, Editing.I also so a commercial for Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11. I was thinking it would be amazing to have when I write so I can just work out the story without typing. I can go through and edit it afterwards. I wish it wasn't so expensive.

I have been looking into other software as well. But darn I want that one the most. Well back to editing.

I have found a new obsession with pinterest.com between editing. so many things to see so little time. lol.

Okay now back to editing another snippet from Unicorn & Serpent coming soon.I have done one edit through but now I am doing the main edit and I have to say I do love the story. I think I am missing something. Not sure what. I am trying to cut out some stuff that is just there, which I find I do a lot of.
