Now there is a thing, I took the price stickers off the back and underneathe it says 'Radio Times, not for resale'. It seems strange, apart from the shop reselling them. Can they really dictate what people do with things when they have been sold and become that person's property? Besides which it is Arthur Conan Doyle, not a modern re-write, so it is not even in copyright any longer.
My main trouble with Sherlock books is that I have read so many I can't remember which is which, so I get half way through a story and then think 'Wait a minute, I know the ending'. Spoils it a bit sometimes :)

John Buchan is the other one I find it easy to do it with. They are the 'quickies' I read in a day when I have just spent a fortnight getting through a couple of heavy non-fictions.

All I have to do today is fix the stereo in my truck. I hate electrical work. I keep procrastinating. Someone kick me in the butt, please.

I withdrew the story I have been working on. But left a note whether I could resubmit it. I was surprised the editor contacted me directly and said I could. And the really cool thing is march the 31st is my birthday where all final considerations are made for this theme for the magazine. So if I get accepted or rejected it would be on the day of my own birthday. But maybe I am doing something right if that happened. It's a well-known magazine has many years. So this is good news to me. Whenever I am not home I get in tune to writing because it is quiet where I visit on weekends. It has many years. Not going to say where I submitted in case I face competition. But I managed to do everything with feedback and with the computer programs. Everyone knows grammar is my biggest problem because of what seems like dyslexia. I was obsessive about finishing it. It may be early to celebrate but this bodes well for me. I think I will leave it as is, I never edited the thread and put the last version of the story which is inspired by a story I read a long time ago.
