Mental Health Day
I’ve decided to give myself a break from packing today. It’s too hot, and I’m itching to finish Chapter 11 of Prosperity. The word count is somewhere around 39,000, which isn’t too shabby. My goal with this revision is to have history repeat itself (from God’s Last Twilight). I’m no longer sure if Amanda will get out of Prosperity alive (or sane). At the very least, I want to depict a real threat against her.
Although she is very different from Cora Sonnet (the minister’s wife, who was brutally murdered in God’s Last Twilight), she looks almost identical. There is a saying that everyone has a double.

Carol’s generous comment re. WP for Mac (seen on Amazon): Is 3.59 (as I recall) functional for Mac OSX (10.3)? I refuse to bow to Bill and buy Word and so on. (Maybe there’s a way to use an rtf program such as Wordpad? Or is some other word-proc. program around for fewer dollars?)

I haven’t tried it for OSX because I bought MS Office a year after that review. If you’re looking for a cheap alternative to Word, check out Star Office. I’m not sure if it’s compatible with Macs, but it’s worth looking into.
Or, you can check out Ebay for an earlier version of Word (2001). Good luck!
