Congratulations! And good luck on cleaning up your draft.
As an aside, I'm looking forward to hearing this week's TAL; I've really enjoyed hearing you on the program.
Wall•E was fantastic. Just so ya know.
If you can pry the keycap off the S key, do so, then squirt some wd-40 in there and press it a whole lotta times
If it's a Mac it'll click back into place. My hard drive DIED, DOA, Gone, one week before my final draft was due to my editor. Back up. Back up. Send your latest draft to yourself or to some account in space.
And then go see Wall•E. It's GREAT.
The computer is an ancient IBM ThinkPad that I picked up for $200 when I needed a laptop in a hurry. I'm ditching it for a Mac Air the second my money comes in.
On a happier note, I *have* been sending myself the drafts, and you're right--it helps me feel very secure in an uncertain world.
Kewl! And congratulations on getting the book done. It sounds fantastic. I've always wondered what Susan Polis Schutz was smoking all those years. I can't wait to read what you have to do to write that crap.
Oh the macbook air is great for mobility. But it's not as fast as the macbook. Definitely check out the macbook first, you might want that instead. My hubby got the macbook, I have the macbook pro. But they all work waymobetta than a ibm stinkpad.
