Favorite Book Friday

Carter Goodwyn's  Fairy Godmother (Magic and Miracles: A Multi-Author Charity Anthology) by Krista Jensen fantasy with a touch of romance. Difficult start as the villains are truly villainous, but it didn't take long for me to not be able to put it down.

Tuesday Tidbit

I needed to make some formatting changes, a time-consuming process as each page must be checked to ensure the computer program did what was asked. Computers are not smart; computers are fast. Computers are not fast when the human eye and mind must check the work done, especially since computer mistakes are often tiny, a missed period. Yes, I've put in a period and had the computer remove it or fail to save it despite being set up with autosave. Not to mention grammar is often wrong, so if I mess it up I can't count on the computer to catch it. Worse is when the computer thinks it is smarter and tries to correct grammar that is already correct. Every day is a step closer to re-publishing "A Promise of Possibilities."

Monday Quote

"The sun may rise, but not everyone wakes. A degree of faith is needed to face each new day. A belief the day is worth enduring, no matter how difficult the journey promises to be, requires a measure of faith."

~ Reverend Whitley

What a contrast from the above blog but just as important, perhaps a needed reminder that good and evil exist in the world. Good must always stand up to evil. P.T. Bradley shared a reminder that human trafficking is increasingly profitable and going on everywhere. Pray for the trafficked and even the traffickers:

Without effort, she stripped away his carefully constructed mask of indifference, without even noticing what she'd done.

Once again checking formatting and things like double spaces, extra spaces at the end of a paragraph or between quotation marks and a word, all those little details.
