In which our heroine pines for technology she does not have

If anyone knows of a way to scan a document in and convert it to text instead of an image I would be grateful, oh so grateful.

How grateful?

Uhmmm, well I will mail you chocolate...or ah, a candy of your choice that I can easily obtain should you be so barbarian as to not actually like chocolate.... or some of my secret writings!

Because I am damn sick of editing and then having to go and re-type all those fucking edits into the comp. Plus I tend to get a variety of things scattered everywhere and trying to get them all on one page isn't easy. Also I am somewhat lazy you understand.

These edits are for the beginning of my story, which I normally wouldn't be trying to edit so soon (no end! aieeee!) but I am using it for a submission to a writers workshop I very much want to get into next year, so it needs to gleam like the gleamiest gleamy that ever did gleam. Yes.

Found the song for the end of the story. Have some lyrics in mind for certain other chapters as well. Had a couple of snippets from the next book demand I put them to paper so I did. heh was amusing. It's weird, technically I don't have all that much down, and yet I do. Enough that I have a decent enough handle on who my characters are so that when the new story practically starts with an argument, I chuckle to myself because the bickering and banter is just so them. Does this put me a little too close to crazy?

I go now. Have hot chocolate and edits to ponder. That is, I do not ponder the hot chocolate, only the edits. The hot chocolate I devour. Ravenously.

Zee job is no more

Could not narrow what, exactly, I was allergic to so I had to ditch the job. Sigh, back to job hunting, one of my least favorite activities.

To-Do List
Find new job I'm not allergic to and can enjoy.
Have forgotten to enjoy writing lately. Must re-remember how this is done.
Must stop reading other people's much better books and wondering how I'm ever going to get there.
Must not be so damn hard on myself.

No time to breathe

Busy, busy, busy. Just started a new job. Up early and practically falling into bed as soon as I get home. Hopefully I adjust soon so I can get back to writing.
