Thanks, Alelou. I just downloaded it. I've been buying books faster than I've been reading them, so it may take me a while to read and review.
It has been an interesting couple of days writing-wise. Last week the hospital where I work told us that we would have an active shooter drill this week. I wasn't looking forward to it. They did it yesterday morning. I didn't have a patient in my office at the time so I had to spend 15 minutes by myself sitting in the dark trying to be as quiet as possible. I'm currently working on a story in which Trip has to stay still and quiet in the dark to avoid capture. I got a better understanding of that scene while I was sitting in the dark. Fortunately my office is much more comfortable than where Trip is stuck.
Between the snow and ice and being on crutches for a few more weeks, I'm pretty much stuck in the house when I'm not at work. I decided to use some of that time to take a couple of online writing classes. One is on worldbuilding. I did my first assignment last night and this morning. It was a scene incorporating some advanced technology I created for the story. I was surprised how quickly it went. It felt really nice to get something completed and submitted. Now I just need to do that with my story!
