Halloween, Backing Up Everything, and Other Wildness!

Halloween is almost here, and I’m not ready. At Night of Passion, we as a group of authors with some guests will be doing giveaways. There may be some double posts. I’ve left that decision to the each author who rules the day.

I’m going to be Stacy Hoff’s guest on her day, and I’m having Rebecca Royce as my guest on my day.

I’m will also be appearing at the Halloween Party at The Romance Studio and also be on the Halloween blog hop for Author JoLynne Valerie. I will add more details on Monday with the Paranormal-Scope.

I’ve been going through technological failures too. I always buy the extended warranty on electronics. My phone on/off button ceased to turn the phone off. First I got a replacement phone that had moving zaggy lines through everything. Now I have another replacement that the button for changing screens has to be pushed more than twice to change screens. Yikes. It’s obvious that the replacement phones are reconditioned, since they don’t make that model anymore and the person on the phone admitted to me that they are reconditioned phones. I will upgrade when my contract ends.

In the middle of working last night, my laptop stopped what I was doing to fix corrupted files. Yikes. It is 5 years old and has down an outstanding job. But now it’s very dicey. So I’m back and forth between the computer and writing in a journal. I had a dream which changed the ending completely.  I also wrote most of the novel with a particular beginning, and it was a great for me to start with that scene but now I realize that I will be writing a new beginning with more details.

When you dream a novel, you don’t necessarily dream each scene in order.  I’ve learned from other authors to be prepared to be surprised.

I think it’s a lesson in life too. Be prepared to be surprised.  Now I’m off to back everything up. Let’s say it’s a feeling.  Trust your feelings.
