Still Waiting on a Kitchen…

Frankenfurter on GoTsWe’re still a month away from getting a new kitchen installed but everything else is slowly settling down, so much so that I’m really starting to feel the itch to start back into my writing projects. I’ve been avoiding it for the last few weeks for no good reason.

In the meantime I’ve moved into my house from the trailer and except for not being able to cook its going swimmingly. Got bedrooms setup and the office is nearly done with a larger desk and good lighting (thanks to my brother Ross). Only issue is the keyboard tray isn’t wide enough to support my keyboard, mouse and pad, and trackpad all at once. However, I’ve got a plan to fix that and then we’ll be set.

Network is still iffy at times. Not sure the AT&T cable modem is any good as it just seems to randomly forget it should be responding to web requests. I’ve tried running an ethernet line from it to my Apple router but half the time it forgets its even attached. Everything is done via Wifi when I’d prefer using ethernet whenever possible. I could replace the AT&T cable modem with my own but so far haven’t worked up the energy to do that yet. Would mean calling AT&T to get the cable modem access and then rework the entire home network into working. Need some mental energy and so far that’s been lacking. I did it once and it irks me to even think of having to do it again. Sigh, first world problems.

As for writing, on Monday I awoke with some ideas to improve a char in Built for Murder and ended up writing their history from their POV in my notes. It made their actions clearer to me then before and provided me some much needed background on which to base or rework some scenes to show their attitude.

I have continued to read and comment on papers submitted to the Austin Writer’s group I left behind. That at least is keeping up my interest in getting back into my own writing RSN.

That’s all for now. Hopefully I’ll have more thrilling news to report on my next post. Possibly even progress. Wouldn’t that be nice?
