adieu GiGi

I finally did hand in my manuscript to Abrams for The Book of Goddesses — and just in the nick of time! For the next time I started up GiGi, my usually trusty G4, it had passed on to the great junkheap in the sky. No amount of coaxing would resusitate it, though I tried all the usual remedies. I even attempted to reinitialize the hard disk, but without success.

I’m now typing this from a new, sexy Mac Mini and flatscreen monitor. It’s about one-tenth the heft of my old system, yet more powerful. Now I have the task of getting everything to work again just so. It’s aggravating when you feel the press of time. I could have been accomplishing so much — and there’s so much to do to promote The Lover’s Path right now, as well as The Book of Goddesses. This experience is akin to moving to a new home. Nothing’s where it should be, though you know it’s around somewhere.

Of late, I’ve been working on the calendar designs for The Book of Goddesses calendar. I’ve been able to get Quark and Photoshop up and running. This blog update is my maiden voyage in Adobe GoLive. Hopefully I’ll be able to upload it. If I get lucky, you can expect some changes in the Lover’s Path website shortly — that is, if Flash will cooperate.

Adieu, GiGi. We made some beautiful books together. Thank you, and bonne nuit!
