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.
