Nit-picking and laptop distress
Apr. 22nd, 2010 06:26 pmSo, I've taken a break from Skywatch (who knew writing 50k words of YA/intermediate reader steampunk would be so stressful?) to give The Novel one last read-through.
It's been months and months since I last read it, longer than I've ever gone, and it's an interesting experience. On the one hand, it's never gonna be a new story for me. I've been working on this piece for two years. On the other hand, it is a little bit like coming to it fresh--Owen and Fiona haven't lived in my head for ages. My head belongs to Eshe right now; my boy and his unicorn are visiting.
( On unicorns, high fantasy, and laptops. )
My screen has been wobbly for a couple of months now, hard to keep in position, but in the last week or so it's gotten worse, culminating in today's distressing incident. Needless to say it's still working (I am typing on it as we speak), but if anyone has suggestions about how to tighten the screen and/or cheaply repair an elderly laptop, I'd be grateful for suggestions.
