Slow Internet Speeds while Writing a Novel too.

My Internet connection is incredibly slow today.

It doesn't seem to matter which browser I use, IE, Firefox, Chrome, they are all bogging down. I depend on the Internet for doing research, and that bogs me down in general.

So it is with my Novel. I am bogging down here too, and just six days into National Novel Writing Month. I looked for some feedback and was not happy with the result. Another problem is that I moved my story along too fast, or just lacked enough material. The result is that I am, more or less, nearing the end of the story that I had planned to write, but 37,000 words short of the needed 50,000. (You can see what I am talking about at the National Novel Writing Month website.

I won't be writing this weekend, but instead will do a lot of thinking about how I can re-construct my story and characters to save this book.

And I need to figure out why my internet connection is so slow. Every once in a while some virus or pirate program slips through and hijacks my computer, I think, and so my computer is being used without my knowledge to spread bad stuff all over the internet.

So, after I post this I will bring up my Norton, and my PC tools, and do a complete scan. What a pain.

But I guess pencil and paper was a pain too.
