Back Again (for how long this time?)

Once again it seems like an age since my last article, and with good reason. After purchasing my new laptop, it suddenly broke and I had to get it fixed under warranty. By the way, if you buy a computer from Officeworks, don’t expect them to replace it if it breaks after seven days – I would recommend you look elsewhere.

Anyhow, now I’ve got my Acer Aspire One back and feel great (Acer, on the other hand, have a fantastic warranty deal, and the Aspire one is a fantastic laptop. I bought the Windows XP version with 1GB RAM and 120GB hard drive. Unfortunately, the specs for the Linux version isn’t as good). Although the laptop is only a kilogram in weight, it has a very spacious keyboard and a generous screen size. I’m very happy with it!

So, now I am back to my novels. The Badman is going great. Had some positive feedback of a sample readership and a few things to change. I’m currently working through a novel called The Evil which I started when I first got chronic fatigue syndrome two years ago. That is also going well. I’m no longer writing short stories because I prefer novels. I used to be a prolific writer, and it will take me a few months to get back into it, but I doubt it will be a problem.

So, onwards with the dream. Perhaps the mark of success is how one copes with the inevitable failures along the way.
