Covenant (My latest A-Team fanfic)

Well, I've posted Chapter Five of "Covenant" to both my fanfic website and FF.net. Have to send it to the archives yet. Nothing like full coverage, right?  LOL   Now trying to work out the remaining glitches on Chapter Six, but Chapter Seven is finished, ready to be posted after I get done with Six. BIG thanks to both JFM and Billy for their help and input.

Then, back to Chapter Eight, which is turning out a little bit on the dark side - another little experiment, based on building up to the Ruckus crossover. Now *that's* going to be fun to write <EG>

Starting to get my enthusiasm back for writing now - figures, since I've started back to work again. I drive a fork truck, and handle the shipping department on third shift, usually a week at the end of each month, and then anywhere from 4-6 weeks at the end of each quarter. Every week I work is one month's expenses paid, so I like that. I don't like driving in the winter, especially at night (I have to be at work at 10:30PM). I'm thinking of getting a full time job the end of February/early March, and then working until fall. Then I can take the whole winter off. Maybe go down to the Gulf of Mexico and be a beach bum - literally. I've heard there are places down there where you pay a miniscule annual fee, and you can "camp out" on the beach as long as you move every few days. Other places you can stay a few days, then have to leave for 2-3 weeks before coming back. That would be okay, too - I could travel around the southern states and then come back. Whatever. I just know I don't want to spend another winter in Minnesota. ;-)

I've been thinking laptop, if I can find - what do they call it - WiFi? But when I was out in California (putting in a brick patio for my sister - anybody need one? LOL) I used pen and paper - filled a whole notebook. Which was fun, actually - had to think a little longer before I wrote anything, and then scribbled it out, and drew arrows to move things. The only bad thing was transcribing it all when I got home again :-(

Whenever I do write anything on paper, I do find it hard to then get it onto the pc. I sometimes have two notebooks on the go, which can get completely confusing. I don't tend to do it much lately. With little ones, it's just hard to stop and write up some notes. I've been throwing things onto OneNote, which is kinda working. It's all in one place, and i can just open another page!
