It appears I'm not the world's best blogger, unless blogging once or twice a year will get me that award. And I'm not the world's best web site manager, either. But Rapidweaver got most of the bugs worked out of their latest version and I've upgraded and am now once again trying to learn how to navigate a slightly changed software program.

I deleted my previous blog pages because they weren't being archived correctly. With the upgrades, they were looking worse rather than better which is why I'm trying again. These will be bare bones blog pages until RW finishes revising their manual. I can only hope they'll share how to use all the new blog bells and whistles when they do.

I'm also trying again, b/c I'll be teaching an online writing class next month and figured my web site should be spruced up in case any students drop by for a looksee. Truth is, I've fallen into a writing gravy boat and seldom have time to come up for air. Unfortunately, it's not a novel writing gravy boat.

I'm working as a revisionist/copy editor on government flight manuals. Who would have thought that gig paid so well? I feel as if I'm living the life of a novelist backward, everyone else did technical writing and then jumped to fiction and I wrote fiction mostly peppered with some nonfiction, but no technical writing or copy editing.

I haven't abandoned fiction and I decided to share my prize winning short story with you. Hope you enjoy Chrysalis
