And I only wanted to write…

Posted on August 2, 2011 by journojohnson

Frustrating morning. The dog out of the way having his three monthly wash and brush up and so I thought I would get down to some serious writing. Before I started I thought, stupidly it seems, why not change my desktop setting. Big mistake. Two hours later, dog emerges with me still fighting Microsoft Word for a complete desktop and not just sections of several! I even considered using one of the ones saved in my system but wasn’t allowed it seems and had to start and restart computer twice. Don’t even feel much like writing now. The muse has all but evaporated. Pen and paper used to be much less complicated.

I always start with pen and paper because I can jot my ideas down faster than I can type!Best Wishes,Jean

Don't know yet how to manage my account properly – this technology baffles – but there are a couple of other postings too.
