Anne N. Mouse: Blog

I'm not a reviewer and while I'll occasionally take the time to write a short set of impressions, so here in is mine of this story...
For whatever reason the author of the story has no means of contacting them without going through several hoops. He says that he's suffered the slings and arrows of various detractors and therefore he has made it difficult to contact him.
Now maybe I'm a bit of a romantic and maybe this site is obscure and the author of Beyond The Mirror has attracted negative attention else where.... IDK
All I can say is that I've written far more controversial material and while I've been criticized mostly I've been taken to task for not finishing my work. Thus it seems odd to me that such a rather staid story if Beyond The Mirror is any indication of the author's other work should draw anyone's particular ire...

yWriter looks like it should be a powerful program. It even says it can import (if I can figure out how!) works in progress. Unfortunately yWriter is very sparse on documentation, so I have to figure out how things work with no examples... (not, mind that some of the examples that windazed gives for finding and transferring stuff are very good) I don't speak or write geek..... And most geeks don't realize that what they speak and write doesn't translate terribly well to English....
I can't imagine trying to translate geek to Spanish!

I've been working on a story where at some points I use among, and others I use amongst. Websters says that they are essentially used the same way, and considers amongst somewhat nonstandard.
I'm thinking that amongst fits in the story I'm working on as I'm trying to give a feeling of a very different sort of story in a very different sort of world....

I don't like to be a conspiracy theorist, but for over a week one of my favorite sites has been down, and just today another site of a similar type has suddenly disappeared. I shan't mention the names of the sites, but will note that so far as I know they were not nearly as questionable as asstr....

For some reason my mouse wheel is now running zoom rather than scrolling. As a person who uses his computer to either read or write, more of the former rather than the later! This is very aggravating. This is something that has previously happened to me and I managed to eliminate the problem for so long I've forgotten how to deal with it. I've been searching through my settings and can't find a switch that I accidentally moved, which is annoying. Not that finding the mouse is easy or even determining the settings...

You'd almost think that windazed wants to shut you out of controlling your machine, yet whatever happened, and I did to make this change went under my radar, which frankly it should not have done! So how did the effing machine allow this change, and then hide the means to change things back!?

Huh!! A reboot changed things back! How and why is still a mystery!
