Fictional Writing Workshop

I've signed up for a local fictional writing workshop. I had started writing a book decades ago (it was over 150K words) but I knew it needed re-working and *something* that I didn't have time for or knowledge/know how to make it work better. So! I am hoping that this workshop will help me focus on that so that either I can decide to finish it or start a new one 😁

I am excited. It will be a challenging but good project!

First things though, I am going to be cleaning up/out my old laptop. I am still going to fix it (it needs the internal battery replaced), but it had a conflict with Adobe .pdf many years ago that cause it to basically die. I paid a good sum of money to recover the hard drive (all the pictures, the one thing I don't want to lose). So those files, plus any new ones, need to be reviewed and either reorganized or deleted. Then I will transfer to the new laptop that is coming (sooo excited about this too) and then I will take the old laptop back to the original settings for any potential future needs. That bitch is amazing, I had gotten a gaming laptop 6 years ago and it is still a great machine. I don't *trust* it per se , because of the adobe glitch and I don't want to take that chance on stuff any longer. And a new laptop every 6 years isn't a bad investment. 

I think of the reasons I am looking forward to this is because I've missed even blogging, a way to express life's moments and ideas. I've read soooo many good/bad/in-between books over the course of my life and I hope I can figure out a good way to contribute to one or more of those options.
