Looks like I’m in for another day filled with minor but unavoidable wordcount-devouring hassles. I feel like the real world is standing next to my desk like a bored, fidgety kid, tugging on my sleeve every time I get into a writing groove.
Thanks for the suggestions re: iMac. Unfortunately, the machine is about 3 years old, no longer under warranty, and there is simply no extra money for repairs of any kind right now. However, a MacDaddy friend of mine has graciously agreed to poke around under the hood in his spare time and see if it’s salvageable. He’s also agreed to give me a loaner to work on in the meantime, but needs a day to transfer all my data. So for now, I’m stuck in Old Laptop City.
