Heir To Magic

Okay, it is that time of year again, so here is one of my New Years Resolutions - To work on Heir To Magic.

I have neglected the poor story, getting depressed when I lost what I had been working on on yet ANOTHER computer.  I found it on a thumb drive just before Thanksgiving… and lost that thumb drive again.  I am going to find that, then print it out and save to two CDs.  I’ll put the thumb drive and one CD in the safe, the other CD will be a CD-RW I can modify with new copies of the novel from time to time with a monthly backup to the stuff in the safe.  The printout will be for rereading and making notes.  As I add to the novel here on out, I will print each chapter as it is finished.

I keep telling myself to get back to work on this story, but every time I think about needing to work on it I am busy with something else that is currently paying me to work on it instead.  Right now it is a couple of advertisements I am working on for people and some transcription work that I have been given.  The transcription is cool, it is something I have considered more than a few times, so getting the chance to work on a transcription project is really nice.  I’m thinking about adding that to my list of stuff I do, but might hold off and see how I feel about it after I finish with this project.

For now, Heir to Magic is on pause, still, while I try to get through the holidays and into the new year.  I’ll revisit it when I am working on my new year’s resolutions.
