I love being back online, to have a computer and sit in front of it and write this message. I feel complete again. Which is a bit sad when you think about it, and its not as if I was completely without technologie. Just without an actual computer. Ryan is officially my lifesaver, each Christmas/Birthday he does something new to this machine, its wonderful having a friend with interests and enough money to view my computer crises as a hobby. I've read a lot since we last spoke, and seen several movies, I made a list (believe it or not) and will backlog it as I run out of ideas.
Today I finished reading The Wind Dancer by Iris Johansen. She's surprisingly good. Sometimes her characters are too stiff for me, they miss a human element, its all plot and no three paragraphs describing a tree branch, and yet this is sort of why I love her. Its a semi supernatural book, the main characters Cassie, Melissa, Michael Ryan and Jessica are tied up in this event, Cassie witness something horrid and to escape she ran away to a tunnel in her mind, it was a dark closed place that could protect her from the monsters. The book follows the characters as they invade being captured by no less then three bad guys and work to bring Cassie would of her mind essentially. What makes it interesting and semi sci-fi is Melissa, this character had been through a simular experience when she was 10 years old and her sister Jessica had sat by her side and brought her out. Melissa can connect with Cassie, sort of read her mind. The first fifty pages of the book I predict you will be throughly confused and thinking what the hell did I pick up, but if you stick with it and accept that the plot is not a joke it turns out to be decent, a good distraction for sure.
Its good to be back for sure, even if there is only one person out there seeing this, well two if you can't my grandmother. (Hi Grandmo!) It's a wonderful outlet, writing. Now if only I could figure out if it should be a career.
Till next time...
