Some things change, some things never do

My most recent contract position ended earlier this week, so I've been getting caught up on sleep after the big push at work to meet the release deadline and working on getting over the flu that's made it's rounds through the house for the last few weeks. I'm also trying to get caught up on chores I put off doing while I was feeling overwhelmed, plus I'm doing a bit of writing (or, well, maybe writing prep is more accurate) for myself. Oh, and one more thing I'm doing is working on getting the word out to the IT world that I'm available.

Wednesday I downloaded the new Scrivener for Windows Beta. I've started two new projects in it. The first is a collaboration with my husband, and the second is a novel I started (mumble) years ago. It'll be interesting to see how this works. By the way, for those of you who are participating in NaNoWriMo (as my eldest son is doing for the second year in a row), Literature and Latte is offering a 50% Discount for All NaNoWriMo 2010 winners, and 20% off for those who try, even if they don't manage 50,000 words.

My husband and I have been listening to some old classic songs, such as My Girl, by the Temptations, and Be My Baby, by the Ronettes:

Karl says listening to these old songs is like eating potato chips. Once you get started, it's hard to stop.

Good luck with both the writing projects! And also with finding a new job. Hope things with your dad are going okay, too.

Thank you. Writing projects are good, but I still need the day job. My dad seems to be doing better than he was.

Is Scrivener not wonderful! I'm very glad you are writing.

Still getting used to Scrivener and trying to find the best way for me to work with it. But, I think it will be very helpful. I'm also very glad to be taking advantage of the break from looming deadlines. :)
