on writing a book.

i have been writing a book in my head for over... hm, fiesably twenty years.
so, i decided to start putting the book on paper...or at least a computer screen.
and then what?

oh yes. the computer crashes.
and guess what? emily didn't back up her work.

so she tries again.
and then what?

naturally. the computer crashes. again.
and emily didn't learn from her previous mistake, and hadn't backed up her work. again.

so now i get to start over--AGAIN. and this time? it will be written, saved, backed up on a jump drive, and emailed to myself. think that will work? maybe. knowing how things tend to go for me, my emails will be deleted (it has happened before), i will lose the jump drive, and the laptop will crash again (providing it is fixed. it is in trouble, i have refused to get it fixed until it learns the error of its ways and stops crashing! it is in time out at the moment. i think sunday i will take it to the computer guru and ask him to fix it...hopefully he's a better computer guru than the last one...)

i don't know if i am bold enough to call this a book. yet. at the moment, i shall call it random thoughts from emily's brain onto paper. or something like that.

oh, i think i will print it, too. the computer can't delete printed documents, can it??
