I'm so sorry I have neglected you for the past few days. I have had serious technical issues. My computer, Pinkie, died. It is a sad tale, full of late nights, long hours, huge documents, monster edits, and finally triumph as I managed to get my book published this year.
Here is the obituary, for those interested:
It is with heavy hard drives that we announce the passing of Pinkie, better known as Kat's computer, on Friday, December 2, 2016, after almost a week of illnesses and reboots. The Valiant Laptop served well, helping the new author finish a nearly 100k word book (which was published just last month), establish a blog, twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn accounts, as well as helping Kat do the outlines for 5 other books, 4 of which are being fleshed out as we speak. Pinkie was preceded in death by it's battery, which died just 6 short months ago.
Pinkie leaves behind a devastated author, various collected backed-up works including but not limited to two partially completed manuscripts that are sequels to the aforementioned published work, a paranormal ms, a thriller/spy ms, and the premises for several other works.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made directly to Kat or by purchasing her published book. All proceeds will go towards a memorial for Pinkie, in the form of Pinky, a replacement computer.
