    Card Sharp Silver… Day 14

    Ramping Back Up… The day was swallowed by a ton of detail stuff, mostly business. Made it to this computer around 11 am and did email and some details on this web site fixes. Also some work on the Cats Bundle (see below) and some work on the Cave Creek Kickstarter, which ended successfully. Yeah! And thank you, everyone, for supporting that project. I promise it will be some fun. And surveys will go out soon. Then Kris and I headed out around 1 pm for a long walk (about four miles total) to run an errand and then picked up take-out lunch on the way back. A ton of…

    A Day of Other Work, Not Writing Fun

    Nothing Done On The Card Sharp Silver Novel… So not even going to count this as a day on the book. But notice what I spent most of my day on. (grin) I think I finally brought the look of this blog from 1990s (maybe) to 2020. I have a ton to do to get the fiction stuff up to date under the different pages.

And last night that old theme finally just broke and for a while I thought I would miss…

Even with this new theme, every time I save a post it says “Updating Failed” so does anyone have any idea what I am missing. The post is saved fine, and then when I go to publish it, it says “Publishing Failed” even though it published fine. Anyone got any idea what I am missing? More than likely…

    Card Sharp Silver… Day 13

    Wow, almost didn’t get this up here… My old theme broke when I updated my WordPress, would not allow me to post or anything. No clue why. My last ditch attempt was to go back to this older theme for a night until I could get it figured out. So this was a close call breaking my streak. I would have been bummed breaking my posting streak on Day 2,768. I will post this here, and then go back to the other theme to see if it survives. A quick rundown of the day. Nothing really special happened beyond the other days. Got about 2,000 words done in two sessions.…
