Passing Along a WIP Funny…
A while back, I asked if anyone would be interested in seeing portions of my WIP – the novel rewrite – as I did it. Well, beware what you ask for.
This novel is also my experiment in using the Fly Fusion Pentop Computer with ink-to-text conversion for any length of time. I knew it wasn’t going to take a full step out of my process, but I didn’t anticipate the hilarity that would ensue in seeing what the Fly Fusion pen thought I was trying to write.
I shall share Page 1 of Chapter 2 — in it’s Fly Fusion Glory… be warned, may not be keyboard safe, or eye friendly. But it is funny…

He was tall, she only came up to just above his shoulder, and heaven was above average height for a woman.
