I'm writing sporadically - I hope that isn't showing in the quality, but of course it shows in quantity. Demi is a short 'Oscar' story and I have another about half done in the same series. Actually getting astride a motorbike after 27 years without at least offers a little inspiration.

I've just submitted a new short story. This one is entirely free of sex, but I hope is enjoyable just the same.

Sorry, folks - I've come to a standstill. I have sixteen chapters of DD3, but I've come to a brick wall with that one, and I've got just under a half of an 'Oscar' short story which I'm stuck on. So right now I'm reading, not writing. I've read 'Time Enough For Love' and several of my SoL favourites. Sooner or later I expect to start again!

Thank you all for your encouragement, commiseration, and technical suggestions. My laptop is now in the hands of a tech who will take it back to a complete new start. It'll be a hassle reloading everything,but at least I won't have to worry about any nastys hiding out.
I'd really like to get away from Microsoft, so am thinking about trying a cheap laptop with Linux.
Cheers!

Against my betterjudgement I upgraded to Windows 10. I now have in incomprehensible OS tht won't let me use Firefox or my Kaspersky security (which I paid for)
I don't know when I'll be able to get my laptop to where I can use it. If you're thinking of taking up Microsoft's 'generous' offer, remember, TANSTAAFL.
Windows 10 seems geared to perpetuate Microsoft's monopoly and prevent the use of preferred applications.
Personally, I don't want anything to do with 'The Cloud' and I don't want to 'Sync my devices' - I just want a computer I can use and keep my files where I can control them.
I'm on my way to the computer shop, since W10 won't let me reformat using a W7 disc...
Scream.
Rude words.
Blue smoke.
