On the final day of our trip, the girls and I trained to Fussen, where we saw the castles of the Romantic Road. We saw Neuschwanstein, which is the castle that Walt Disney used to model Sleeping Beauty's castle, and also Hohenschwangau. Don't ask me how to pronounce the names, but they were beautiful places to visit! It was like a fairytale come true, as you can see from the picture above. All that was missing was the knight in shining armor.
Recently, I've been traveling a lot and having a great time! Now, however, I'm ready to stay in Paris for a solid final month and really soak in my last moments here.

If you don't stop and look around every once and a while, you could miss it." So, I'm looking around, a lot.

"Having companies like Webtech Wireless in our midst highlights the ways in which BC technology can power other industries and illustrates the expansive possibilities for local tech companies."

"We particularly appreciate this recognition for the solution we implemented with Vedder Transport, where our custom reporting had an immediate and positive impact on their operations and bottom line. When you can help one of the best companies in their industry, you know you've got it right."

Vedder Transport uses the real-time fleet intelligence provided by the Webtech Wireless solution to enable timely business decisions and improve overall productivity and efficiency. "As a result of the solution from Webtech Wireless, we have seen tangible results, including increased route efficiency and improved driver behaviour," said Fred Zweep, President of Vedder Transportation Group.

Off to Shark Week V
FXD-Tim Posted on June 14, 2015 by FXD-Tim July 5, 2018
It's been a couple of years since I posted in this blog. I'm at it again for my friends who don't have Facebook and so I can write a few more words.
"Shark Week" in this context is not a series of TV shows about sharks. It's a meet up of owners of Harley Road Glides. Coming up is the 5th annual meet up. This year it is in Kerrville Texas outside of San Antonio and adjacent to the Texas Hill Country. What is the connection between "Sharks" and Road Glides? The Road Glide has a fixed fairing (it doesn't move when you turn the handlebars). The firing resembles a the nose of a shark, hence the nick name, "shark nose." From there a meet up of "sharks" becomes Shark Week.
I left home Friday morning at 6 and headed north and west. Along the way I caught up with my friend, Linda, and her friend, Deb, headed for Texas. We ran into heavy traffic approaching the Mobile tunnel and pulled off to rest our clutch hands.
We headed west on I-10. Linda and Deb had to stop for photos at each state's welcome sign.
Linda and Deb stopped for the night in Mississippi and I went on the Mandeville, LA. I stayed overnight with Skip and Karen who are members of the Motorcycle Travel Network. The live just a couple of minutes from Lake Pontchartrain. Their original house was damaged by 2 hurricanes so they finally rebuilt "up."

Making your own homegrown dried oregano takes a little time, but the aroma makes it well worth the effort! Oregano is best planted in January/February and harvested in 6-8 weeks (March/April). When flowers appear, pick long strands of the oregano. Cut entire stalks with clippers. Gather a bunch and tie it with a string. Hang the bunch of cut stalks upside down in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area. The time needed to dry will vary on conditions, but generally it takes a couple of weeks. It is ready to process when the leaves have gone crisp.
When the oregano has dried, spread a piece of baking paper on the kitchen table or bench. Strip the leaves from the stalk. The easiest way is to start from the flower end and run your fingers along the stalk, so the leaves fall off. Collect the leaves on the baking paper and gently crumple them up with your fingers to break up the larger leaves. Use the paper as a funnel to pour the oregano into airtight jars. The dried oregano will keep for several months.<eot>Practical Editing Software for Authors and Editors - BookWorks

Because professional editors are so expensive (and worth every penny), the purchase of electronic editing software can be a very smart investment to save you time and money in the long run. Here's a review of my favorite tools, some of which offer "first-pass" or "last-pass" editing to clean up mistakes in spelling, grammar, and punctuation, and one that actually helps you edit your story, kind of like a developmental editor. Magic? Yes! Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to help.
These tools do much more work than the built-in spelling and grammar checkers in your word processor. They alert you to overuse of adverbs, clichés, redundancies, overlong sentences, sticky sentences and glue words, vague and abstract words, diction, and misuse of dialog tags, to name just a few. Some of these tools will even connect you with a human editor with a click of a button.
Practical Editing Software Apps for Authors, Editors & Publishers
In alphabetical order, here are my picks for best editing software for creative writers, editors, and publishers.
AutoCrit for Mac and Word for Windows is $144/yr. 7-day money-back guarantee.
Grammarly for browser and Word for Windows plugin $139.95/yr. 7-day money-back guarantee.
Fictionary browser-based story editor $20/mo or $200/year. Free 14-day trial.
MasterWriter browser-based dictionary and thesaurus $9.95/mo, $99.95/yr, $149.95/2 yrs.
ProWritingAid is $50/yr, $75/2 years, $100/3 years, $175 for lifetime access.
To compare these tools I used the first chapter from a book I'm writing that I thought was pretty well edited. You'll see that it could still use some work.
Choose Three Out of Five
I recommend you choose between AutoCrit, Grammarly, or ProWritingAid, and add both MasterWriter and Fictionary to your arsenal of writing and editing tools. The expense is far less than hiring an editor to deal with the easier editing tasks so they can work on the hard stuff. You'll also become a better writer. I've become aware of some bad and lazy habits by using these tools.

AutoCrit offers a lot of information, well organized in a clean interface. In my story, it revealed an excess of generic descriptions, passive voice, and too many initial pronouns, names, and "ing" words. I also use too many "ly" adverbs. On the plus side, I'm great at showing and not telling, and I don't repeat words and phrases or use a lot of filler words or clichés.
All these were easy fixes once I was made aware of them. But hey, if you're feeling depressed about your errors, just click the "compare to fiction" tab to show how your writing stacks up against published works, including mass-market paperbacks and bestsellers. You may be surprised.

Story editor that detects narrative arc overlaid with character, setting, etc.
When I demonstrated Fictionary to the authors in my last self-publishing workshop every jaw dropped to the floor. It does seem like magic, and I suppose it could be called artificial intelligence. You upload your story to the browser-based software and it evaluates each scene, creates a narrative arc, lists your characters, points of view, pacing, and other story elements so that you can visualize and improve your story. Developed by a best-selling author and editor, it includes tutorials on every aspect of storytelling to help you create a story that readers will love.
I interviewed the co-founder of Fictionary in my Author Friendly Podcast in a 30-minute segment that takes you through the software's features. It's like magic!
Listen to co-founder Kristina Stanley explain how Fictionary works.
