Another week gone. Another week closer to the start of school. And my kids are panicking. :) To be honest, I suspect that getting some structure back into their lives, and more contact time with their friends, will be good for them. The downside, of course, is the homework, but that's not my problem. (At least not until they come to me asking for help.)
On the writing front, I signed up for my first writing workshop. See Wednesday's post. It's a small step, but somehow it makes me feel like more of a writer.
Have a great weekend!

Friday Links -- Volume 38
I spent most of the week on vacation, so not much progress on the writing front. You'd think that having all that time away from work would mean lots of writing time, but it never works out that way, no matter how many computers and writing pads I drag along with me. I'm guessing I only managed about an hour of writing in six days. Almost makes me glad I'm back to work.
At least the week is ending well. We returned from our vacation to find that the family computer wouldn't start, no matter how many times we kicked it. Turned out the power supply was fried, so I picked up another one at a local store and now everything is back to normal. I wasn't too worried about my manuscripts. They're backed up on multiple computers as well as Dropbox, but every minute I spent getting the computer back up and running was one less minute I could spend writing.
Does anyone have any scary computer stories to tell?
Have a great weekend and enjoy the links!
