Success!

Okay, it looks like crap, because sometimes what you see is NOT what you get (no matter what wysiwyg promises) but--MY WEBSITE IS UP!

Complete with links to all my webfriend's websites. So, kids...visit www.cyndisweet.com within the next few days and let me know if the links is workin' da ways de should.

I'm so punchy. Please 'scuse me. I'm so not a techie and my art major days are far behind me. So this has been an interesting experience. I want the underlines in the hyperlinks to go away, and they don't want to...but they're not in the work space, so I don't know they're there until I go live. So, so frustrating. It got so bad, today, I actually did laundry rather than sit at my computer and try to figure out what was wrong. Gasp!

Tomorrow, however, assuming my mother-law chooses to keep the smallest boy with her, I'll write. I'll actually sit down and work on a story. Maybe the laptop I bought from ebay will arrive. (And if it does, it will work...) Maybe I'll sit and read. Or, both.

What I really need to do is wash the kitchen floor. Thhhpt. Housework.

One thing I want to do is work on the characters in Nuts Over You. I have a fair idea of who they are, but something is missing. I don't like to do charts when it comes to characters because it seems like a tremendous waste of good writing time. I don't like to interview them, either--that just seems weird. Basically, I have to write them to get to know them. But what a waste o'time that is when you just want to finish the damn book. (Why? Why not enjoy the process instead of the product? And if it's a waste to write them, why not try charting them anyway?)

Pooh. Who is this person asking questions? Go 'way. I'm tired. LOL.

How do YOU learn about your characters?
