Interconnected Endeavors

Fio is one-third through with her jigsaw puzzle, which is quite exhilarating.  One at a time, the pieces are finding their designated homes--even though Fiorella has yet to locate two straight-edged pieces that make up the outside edge.

And, one sentence at a time, Phillipa' story is coming together too--although Fio has a fair number of XXXXs, which represent missing words, to supply.  To bring you up to date, the hero and heroine have had a couple of near misses and should be hitting the jackpot in the chapter Fio is working on now.

When Fiorella finishes the jigsaw, she will admire it for a couple of days, then put all the pieces in a bag to donate to The Caring Place.  When Fiorella finishes the novella, she will admire it for a couple of days, then ship it off to her agent for consideration.  Or maybe she'll keep it at home and publish it herself.

We'll see.

Ta-da!

Fio is late posting today, but with good reason. She has been battling the evil jigsaw puzzle all week, and TODAY SHE TRIUMPHED! Yes, at exactly 11:29 a.m. (write this down in your diaries), Fiorella Plum won her fight against chaos.

It was hard going all the way as she searched for three-legged men, egg foots, kink arms, and over-endowed uppers among the cardboard pieces, then judged them by color and design, but, I repeat, FIO TRIUMPHED!

Maybe there's hope for the world after all.
