Thursday, May 14th -- Guess what happened? I wrote a post yesterday morning, as usual, pressed Post and it disappeared. I thought, well, I hit a hinky button and did it again -- whoosh, it's gone. Then I do a test yesterday afternoon, and whoosh -- then J.T. said, sign out and sign in again -- and voila, it worked!

Working on the 20th FBI for next summer -- yes, yes, if you're a writer, you're always focused on the future -- it's difficult to focus on the present, and somewhat disconcerting. Anyway, in this one, I finally admitted that I'd "wedded" myself to an opening that simply wasn't going to work, so with profound regrets, I hit the delete button and now things are dashing forward. The main FBI character (other than S&S) is Cammie Wittier, the daughter of two character actors who live in Malibu, in the Colony, and we have murders and she's sent out -- there will be all sorts of wormy stuff happening, layers (like an onion) to peel away to come to the motive and the truth --
