*Happy sigh* Only one more sequence of posts to rewrite and this section will be done. I probably won't get it all done tonight and I expect to be gone most of the day tomorrow but I should have the next thread up by Tuesday. Then I'll only have 1,298 posts to go.....  Smiley

Okay, I've highlighted what I want to keep. Now I have to figure out what to write around it. This may turn out to be more trouble than it is worth. I know what I need to do in this part but I'm not sure how to do it. Smiley Time to think "outside the Castle.." I think.

I've been wrestling with these posts for an hour without much progress. It isn't looking good for saving anything in this section. It was just too, too far outside what the Castle turned out to be. If I can't think of some way to salvage it and quickly, I'm going to write some filler that moves the story along and post it.
I'm anxious to be finished with this part and get to work full time on the novel.

Skywise is turning the lights out. This is a hint. It's just as well. The creative part of my brain has shut down for the night. Smiley I'll try to make time for a quick check in  tomorrow morning before we take off.
Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

We're about ready to head out. The track closes at 6 and we usually leave before then to avoid the mass exodus so I should be back here a bit after 6 this evening.
Everyone be safe today and enjoy the day. Smiley

We're back! We had a good time although it WAS a bit too windy/chilly for comfort in the Grandstands. Moonie was in charge of the camera and she says she got some great stuff including some movies of laps being taken. I also noticed her pointing the camera in my direction a time or two. I hope she didn't waste memory on me! The next order of business is to decide what to do with the pesky section of Castle posts. Inspiration did NOT strike while I was in the stands so I'm just gonna have to come up with something now. lol

I'm FINALLY making some progress on the posts.
If you can call going hand to hand with a rock troll "progress."

Things are going very well. I'll definitely finish this section tomorrow at the latest, barring some real life complication. Skywise heads back to work tomorrow and has the early shift so I'll be getting an early start on my work. I have several new projects I want to start this week so I'm going to be a busy, busy girl.

Morning all!! I've had breakfast. I have tea at hand and while I do have chores to do today, I'm ready to write! Smiley It's looking good for the next Castle thread to go up late tonight or Tuesday!

My writing got a bit sidetracked when I realized that it's the 19th and it was "Oh hell! The bills!" [Two credit cards and the insurance for the house and vehicles are due in the 21st through 23rd timeframe plus another bill that isn't due yet but I paid it anyway so I won't forget it.] So I've been catching up on the math and writing some checks. Skywise will take them to work with him and see them safely on their way through the first steps in the the mail delivery process.
I feel an introspective spell coming on so I might make a journal entry before I head back to the Castle and figure out if I should break the Keyholder's back and if I do, how to do it......

I got into my "introspection" and realized what it was about.  SmileySo I had a quick conference with Skywise about it. He shrugged and said to go ahead. I think I'm going to work this one out on a word doc before I commit it to the site. This is, to borrow a phrase from a friend, huge and it would not do to mess it up. Smiley

*sick* I didn't need to see that. Ever.
That site was sometimes good for a laugh but I've deleted it from my list.
Now I just have to get what little I saw out of my brain.....

I'm working on the Castle posts and my journey entry at the same time. Thank the Gods for this 24 inch screen! The Castle posts are about done and even though I had to dump some stuff I wanted to keep what I've done will be better for the book in the long run.
The journal entry doesn't "feel" done yet. Right now, I'm thinking about having Skywise read it over before I post it. Yeah. I think that it is that important.

I'm back. Spirit has been loading YouTubes tonight which is the explanation for my absence! She's done so I can load posts now!Smiley 
The section of Castle reposts I've been working on is done, I think. I'll read them over again in the morning, make the necessary tweaks and post them tomorrow. Hopefully, Spirit's YouTube addiction has been sated for a while!
I'm still working on my Journal entry. It's a good thing it's on a word doc.

I'm a tired but very satisfied little writer person. The next thread of Castle posts will go up tomorrow and completely foul up the 30 most recent posts feature. Then I'll have only 1,298 left to go through. THE END IS IN SIGHT!
Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Morning/Afternoon! We've been to town and back already this morning so I'm set for the day. I'm going to get the next Castle thread up today so prepare for the 30 most recent feature to be overwhelmed. Speaking of the Castle, I had the strangest dream just before I woke up. I dreamed that Donald Trump built a copy of the Castle. He didn't really follow my floorplan but it was the Castle. And from the looks of things, it was a tourist attraction....
The things that my brain does while I'm sleeping..... Smiley

I've finished the above mentioned Journey post finally. I think I have it right. I have some thoughts tonight about the project but they can wait. What I have to say is more important and shouldn't be diluted. And for the record, Moonie knows about it and her thoughts are included.

Morning! Smiley It's another beautiful if unseasonably chilly day. It is SUPPOSED to be warm by the weekend but it had better hurry up!
I've got a few things to do before I really dive into the remaining posts -- like breakfast. And some private time with the lifemate is definitely in order.  Smiley *giggle* See ya later.

Smiley It has dawned on me that now that I have a scanner, I should probably draw out the Castle small enough to fit in said scanner and post the floorplan along with the description. I'll need to finish laying out the Military Compound side of the Castle before I do that. Ah well, something to do the next time I hit a Writer's Block and need to do something useful on the Castle when the prose won't come.

I'm making my way through a section of 499 posts. I have sorted through 365 of them. Everything is either "keep as is", "minor rewrite/edit", "complete rewrite" and delete. And there are a LOT more of the latter two categories than the former. Right now, I'm just bolding what needs major rewriting or deleting.
I have a feeling that this section is going to be real short when I'm done!
Right now, I need a bit of a break. I just moved my neck and it sounded like a branch snapping....
