Taking A Break

Well folks, I'm going to take a break. I can't seem to get rid of this malware on my PC or laptop and both my go to fix it PC repair guys are not available until next week.

 

Since it's nearly impossible to leave comments on other blogs I'm going to take a break. I don't feel right having the good people of Blogdom visit me and leave comments when I can't reciprocate.

The Council of the Mighty Lava Lamps

 

But I will do some visiting as I can use my kids Kindle Fire and my cell phone, neither of which are practical for blogging. But I will stop by and say hello when I can.

 

In the meantime, I will continue to write Murcat Manor as the malware does not effect using Word docs.

The Grand Poobah of Lava Lamps

 

Thanks again for being such awesome blogging pals and I'll be back up and running in a couple weeks.

 

Until then,well, you know what to do. The Lava Lamp is once again in charge. All heed the Lava Lamp.

ISWG and Murcat Manor

IWSG: Okay, lots of crazy stuff going on. I am tempted to say the biggest is to miss IWSG and get taken off my spot in the ISWG Lineup and have to start all over at the bottom. That's the penalty for missing ISWG.

 

Yeah, it’s a genuine concern. I don’t want that to happen. But if you read my last post my kids downloaded something they should not have and now I have malware on my PC and laptop. I am not able to link to let alone respond to another blog as a gazillion pop ups appear on my screen. And boty my tech guys are unavailable to clean my hard drive (the best way to get rid of malware and viruses and such).

 

Ugh.

 

The worst possible whatever on these people.

 

Anyway, I’ll get this mess cleaned up this month. Until then. Please don’t forget about me. I’ll try to tocuh bases with you all from work or the library this week. You’re all the bestest and don’t you ever think otherwise!

 

 

On The Upside: (rerun from Monday's blog) I dusted off a WIP from a couple years ago I outlined called Murcat Manor. It's a play on words. Mur for Murder and Cat for, well ... Cat. Murcat Manor I rock and rolled on it over this past weekend and am up to fifteen thousand words already.

This will be a paranormal psychological thriller horror story with a synopsis soon to follow in an upcoming post.

 

I'm almost at 20,000 words and can conceivably finish the draft by the end of May!

 

I’ll Be Looking for an Indie publisher for this one. Thought I would try it out and see how having a publisher could work for me. If you have any advice or know of really good Indie publishers, please leave them in the comments. And Congrats!

 

A to Z Roundup

Hey everyone, a great big round of congrats!, high fives, fist pumps, and what not for everyone who participated in the A to Z Challenge.

 

April started off with a bang for me and I was off and running. But about mid way through the month life was interrupted. Emergency room visits (everyone’s okay) combined with my PC and laptop infected with malware were the main culprits.

 

Somebody attempted to download something on both devices (the kids) and that’s where the trouble began. If anyone has had problems with Redirect, AdSense, AdBull, and such you know what I mean. They completely take over your computer and fill your screen with ads. Try to click out of one and two more appear. Then it's like a game of Space Invaders trying to get rid of pop ups that just keep coming.

This Is What My Screens Looked Like. Pretty Much.

Performance is turtle speed at best. And the two local guys I trust to fix my computers were not available. Toss in a few other unforeseen events and it was a very difficult second half of April. Anyway, I had fun. Just not as much fun as I could have if life was not interrupted.
