Current page count on the Windfall novel is: 26,106. This is mostly from taking the screenplay and putting it into a novel format. There is still a lot of work to do.
It seems like there is always something lost in our house. My son is fourteen, and last month he finally admitted to us that he had lost his cell phone. We looked everywhere, called the school, and the bus company, but no phone was found. We had decided to buy him a new one because we are going on vacation in August and we wanted everyone to have a cell but we had postponed it, knowing we had several weeks before we had to make the expenditure!Last week-end, when I’d purchased my new laptop, I had gotten out an old backpack that was really an old laptop backpack. Well, last year, occasionally, my son had used it during the school season and, guess what I found inside the backpack? Yep, that’s right – the lost cell phone! It wasn’t lost at all!
The new laptop is doing what it is supposed to do. I went to the laundromat, this morning, and got some writing done while washing and drying the clothes. It is so nice to be able to do this. The laundromat actually has a desk area, complete with plugs for battery chargers! Imagine, working on a computer while doing laundry at a laundromat. When I think back to my childhood when there were no computers… Gosh, I learned how to type in the eighth grade on a manual typewriter, can you believe it? I often find myself wondering what the world will be like in another forty years. What will the world be like for my son when he is my age.
Well, I guess he’ll find out in 44 more years.
