I worked hard on Malek this week, but not exactly editing. I had to transfer the file from a very old PC to a not-terribly-new Mac. You’d think that since I’ve been using Word on both computers, this wouldn’t be a problem, but you’d be wrong. I’m sure one of my many tech-geek friends could have told me how to fix the formatting problem that occurred, but I didn’t ask. Instead, I fixed it manually, line by line, all six thousand, six hundred and thirty eight of them. Whew! It only took three days. On the up side, doing so gave me a chance to skim through the whole thing and remind myself of why I really love this story! In fact, it’s become hard for me to be away from it for very long. I no long worry if I’ll be able to write every day. Instead, I worry if I’ll be doing anything else all day! Find the balance, I hear myself say. Hopefully, I can!
