So after posting on Saturday that nothing catastrophic had happened to me while composing bits of my novel on my smartphone, guess what happened? This morning I was working on a bit for an upcoming chapter, an action sequence actually, and my phone elected to freeze up on me just as I was about to hit the period and finish the scene. This caused the Diaro app to restart and it dumped my work into oblivion... Needless to say, I was not happy. This has happened to me before, although not while I was writing something for the novel. The problem was caused either by the Go Keyboard app or the live wallpaper, so I switched to SwiftKey X keyboard and turned off the live wallpaper... hopefully this won't happen again. See why I'm superstitious?
About Me
- Mr. G
- Dan Garcia resides in San Antonio, Texas, in a household ruled by a dog and a cat. These benign overlords allow Garcia, his wife, and two daughters to live with them so long as they are served unquestioningly. The dog and cat compel Garcia to write stories of imaginative fiction and fantasy; their rationale being: the potential for supplementary income from the sale of these stories means the possibility of more treats and toys for them. Thus, when not at work at the San Antonio Public Library, Garcia is permitted to craft his tales despite the fact that this activity limits his availability for scratching and petting. Hell-Kind is Garcia’s first novel which he was allowed to type because of his opposable thumbs and agile digits; the dog and cat did all of the actual heavy-lifting for the story, and are not particularly concerned with receiving credit for the book.
