If a person writes when the server is down does anyone read it?
July 9, 2005
So I’ve been waiting as patiently as a woman without her server can. It feels like it’s been at the very least 4 or 5 months. In reality, the server has only been AWOL since Wednesday afternoon. Fortunately, I had backups of the files I was actively revising on my laptops; so I can keep writing. I was lucky though. I had been uploading copies of the book chapters to tengrrl.com to transfer them from the work computer to the home computer.
Or you might say I was UNlucky since I don’t have that excuse to procrastinate. I figure I can use the “I’m so depressed that the server is down that I can’t write another word” excuse though if procrastination really needs to be accomplished.
I have actually been making progress. I’ve stopped moving paragraphs around in the first two sections, having finally figured out how they fit together and which parts go in which section. I’m into the 3rd chapter now. I fear it’s going to be the longest, and right now it feels impossibly so. I have 11 characteristics to work through. So far I have only one completed. Time to go back to characteristic two, I guess.
