Talon Book Four Rediscovered

My former little Dell netbook workhorse on which I did an awful lot of writing is running slower and slower these days, so late one night I got my husband out of bed to come and copy all the files onto a flash drive before the netbook crashed (shades of my former Dell laptop-oh the horror of that!)- so he gamely spent forty minutes doing that- bless his grumpy heart.

This weekend I was feeling sluggish and bored after cleaning out my bookcases and filling 10 cartons for the library book sale- didn't know what to do with myself so I dug through some of the binders in the dining room and found the abandoned fourth book in the Talon series (not labeled as a Talon book, but it is). So I sat in my cat with the cat on my shoulder and read it, editing it along the way on Saturday. On Sunday I did all the edits and then continued writing. I wrote until 11:30PM last night and wrote some more while eating breakfast before going out to face the snow.

This book is set 22 years into the future as one Talon is about to graduate from college, and the family readies to move to Maine (if you've read either of the two published books you'll understand why they have to move every twenty years or so)...

Needless to say, I am now motivated to complete this novel...not like I don't already have four in the queue awaiting my attention, including book 3 in the Talon series which actually just needs it's final review process completed. Sometimes I am such a lily pad jumper when it comes to projects! But, the good news is that I do eventually get the novels written! :)

As an aside- my husband is a fan of Tiny House. I keep telling him that I need a tiny house in the back yard where I can go and write without distraction (he has to have the TV on constantly which drives me crazy! I like peace and quiet so I can think! We're total opposites,,,)

Thanks for stopping by to visit my world...I'm going back to book 4, I swear!

Pat Winter Your blogs always make me smile (except of course a couple of sad ones) . The ability to go back and forth and still maintain the quality of you stories amazes me. A tiny house, yes girl, yes! You and kitty in a big chair or sitting at a tiny desk with a feline pawing for attention would make a great photo op for a book cover. Couldn't you get your grumpy guy to wear earphones for the tv? At least until he builds you your tiny space. (On a side note, my copy of "Miss Peculiar's.....Volume I " finally arrived from Amazon but have a couple of books ahead in the que).

Susan Buffum Thanks, Pat. You make me smile, too. Glad your book finally arrived! It's okay if I'm in the queue-I'm a patient person. My cat, Bunny, would love a tiny house with a tiny closet t sleep in! Revere, on the other hand, would want a tiny screened in porch to watch the wildlife from! And then Kelly would want a desk of her own in my tiny house...and then my husband would be feeling left out...so I don't foresee a tiny house workspace in my future, at least not yet!! A gal can dream tiny!
