Vonalt: Blog

This has been a frustrating week. The good part is I get “Trust and Verify” up to a successful start and a competent editor to agree to work with me. Thanks, Al. I hope we have good partnerships here.
Then my ISP-supplied equipment takes a dump and knocks me off the internet. I tried to use my phone to transfer a file to my new editor. With little success, I finally got one sent and then realized it was the wrong one. I am sure my volunteer editor wonders what he signed up for.
My ISP promises to have a new internet black box for me by Wednesday. We shall see. Meanwhile, I am attempting to use the free internet at the local McDonald's to attempt to upload an unedited file to keep interest going in the story and, at the same time, to my editor. We shall see how that works out.
So far, not so good. I have had several timeouts so far. The connect speed here is just slightly faster than dial-up.

New chapter will be available shortly. Things here on out will start to become more interesting. James Mercer shows his true strength of his intellectual abilities and his determination.

Several readers have notified me that Chapter Five, "The Mission" seemed incomplete and they were right.
I went ahead and reposted the chapter. This will probably make the story line easier to follow. Not sure what happened there.

James is back from his adventure and trying to get his life back to a normal routine. His wife, Karen, feeling neglected wants to go on vacation. Where do they end up? Nowhere else but Washington, D.C.. The question is can Washington survive the Mercers? And lets not forget Grandma Jorgenson. There are two chapters posted this time.

I corrected a few grammar errors using an online grammar and spelling checker and didn't notice until after I used the application that it truncated my chapters. Give me a day so I can make working copies from my backups. Feel like a fool, have over 25 yrs in using WP and other computer applications and I do something as rookie as this. I am sure it won't be the last time either.
