Personal Update!

If my posts have seemed sporadic, that’s because they have been. My computer crashed on Thanksgiving Day. I was able to borrow a desktop to make some adjustments that day, but since then I’ve been a bit adrift without consistent access to the Internet and all my personal information and logins. I was really disappointed to miss my December IWSG post, but it couldn’t be helped.

I have a “new to me” computer and am steadily working to restore my backed-up files, but of course I’m hitting snags left and right. Then there is also the matter of software licenses that can’t be transferred from one computer to another and of course I don’t have the funds to re-purchase all these programs. All-in-all things could be both better or worse. I’m feeling blessed even if I am a bit overwhelmed.

Unfortunately these turn of events have had major effects I could not have foreseen. There will be some changes and shifts made in my blogging, writing, and other social media activities. Live goes one, just not down the same path.

I do so hope you all will continue to put up with me and whatever adventures that may come my way. Thank you for your time and consideration. Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

Character Files EC: GA Files EC: Giovanni's Angel

Character Files from the ToiBox 76: Abraham-Opinion on Peers

ECGA-A

Abraham-bk

How does this character feel about his/her book peers?

Subject EC:GA 1-Abraham:

…loves Giovanni unconditionally like a father and sees so much potential in him.

…is ever impressed with Mira and wishes he’d met her sooner. To him, she is a ray of sunshine…a daughter he never had.

…likes Leo very much, but never really knows what to make of him. He’s knows Leo’s a paid helper, but sometimes he feels as if Leo really cares about him, payment or not.

Don’t get me wrong, vinyl has many wonderful uses. It makes great tarps, tents, umbrellas, siding, etc…but when I say I love vinyl, I’m talking records. There’s something about this technical recording media that fascinates me. I like the look, the mechanism, the sound, the whole experience of picking out a record, wiping it down before putting it on the turntable, and then dropping the needle.

I use my record collection for inspiration. Sometimes when I need to clear my mind, I set up my easel, put on a record, and paint. Then there are times when I play records to get in a specific mood for writing. I can’t explain it, but vinyl records make me want to create.
