"Sasa fraken no good..."

Hey! I finally figured the origin of "Fracken" out. I thought they did it on Battlestar Galactica to get around the F bomb. Or Freaking. Now I know Sam the man cussing is the origin! or at least I'm running with that. :)

Yeah, I reblogged this from indydemocrat.blogspot.com

What can I say? Sorry mom for the cussing, and yes, I am a dork. >:)

Anyway, an update:
The first 4 copy edits of PP (Plague Planet) have been completed, Thomas just sent me back PP this morning. I'm looking into adding a few things before passing it on to someone else for their shot at it.
Thomas sent me back AD but had an auto-correct error and is fixing the fix. He'll get that back to me sometime soon.
I haven't heard anything from Mechmaster lately, (I'm guessing no news is good news?)
Congrats on Jacob loosing weight! Cool!

I've been working on Jethro 2 First to Fight. I tabled finishing the Gustav. I've added another 12 pages and some new plot points. I finished cleaning up chapter 9, but there is a lot of unresolved notes and details that need to be added ahead of it so it might not be chapter 9 for long.
I've been firming up my notes and tweaking some of the interconnected short stories to keep the details in synch. That is a necessary and tedious pain in the butt.
For some reason I keep getting attacked by viruses when I do research. That's annoying and time consuming to get rid of them. They also throw me off my game, blowing my concentration. That's annoying. GRRR.

I also have a bit of drama going on. 1 Mother's day. I'm hosting it again. and 2, my uncle Richard called Thursday, he had brain surgery yesterday. That's had the family walking on egg shells and hanging by the phone and net.

It's hot here, already 90. I suspect the nephews will be wanting to swim soon. Definitely tomorrow. They had fun in the pool and hot tub last weekend when they stayed the night.

To my Mom, Gram, Sister, and other mom's, have a wonderful day tomorrow ladies. You've more than earned it.

Now I get to go clean my house before you show up tomorrow. Gee thanks. lol

Oh, I almost forgot: My answer to the Dove-Cat wars:
Hang on dag nab it, I gotta get my phone out and transfer the dag gum picture...
Ah! Here it is:
That seems to have solved the problem, I haven't seen (though I've heard them) since. :)

(I told you I'm a dork)

  1. Do you have any ballpark for when Plague Planet will come out?

  2. Sorry, Not yet.
    I'm trying to get as many copy edits of it as possible to minimize the complaints. I'll still get them, they are aggravating, but I'm still trying to do my best to cut them down. I don't like it when people file complaints with Amazon. That bugs me.
    Same for PRI and AD, I want them as clean as possible.
    Brandon is on hiatus from college, he took on AD Sunday.
    Thomas has gone through most of my short stories, he's gotten me off my duff to finish some of the others. :) There are 6 left in the "13 Degrees of Separation" book to do. Well 5, once I finish "The Last Round Up." Then I'll have another book to copy edit. lol
    He's even hitting some of my very old stories from over 10 years ago. Who knows, maybe I'll toss them into an anthology book too!
    I had been farting around with rendering AD alien spinners. Now I'm going to try to split my time since I am almost finished with them anyway. :)
