This is for my BFF
Well, some of you probably know that my roomie, apollymi, is an author. Her actual professional writing LJ account is katherinewrites and she uses that primarily for updates on her novels (her first novel Amaranth is due out as an ebook in December and in print January). I've read the first draft, and it's starting through the editing process now.
But that's not what I'm posting about here.
Over our recent move, the roomie's iBook gave up the ghost. This wouldn't be too big of a deal save for one thing: it was the only laptop in our mutual possession that had built-in wireless, and the roomie does a lot of research online for the books.
Her options are pretty much try to have the bitch repaired a second time (oh no, this is not the first time it's done this) or buy a new MacBook. Given that there's no Apple store in the area, she's leaning towards Option 2. Which is where I'm stepping in.
Katherine's Laptop Donation Fund
I'd help out myself if I could, but she knows I'm just as broke as she is. We spent way too much damned money moving and it'll be a good while until I'm back to normal financial standing as well.
I promised to help out with "pimping" though, so here it is in black and white (so to speak). Click the link and if you can help in any way, you rock. Hell, you might get written into the third book for all I know (I'd say "the next book," but she's already finished it and is in the pre-editing phase).
