I spoke too soon...

Spoke too soon. Looks like the Writersmarket.com server is undergoing more changes, so I am unable to update Market Watch until I get the okay. Posted by Debbie at 09:21 PM | Comments (0) | TrackBack

Market Watch notice

NOTE: Because of WriterMarket.com server maintenance, I have not been able to access the administration interface to upload Market Watch. I've been told that things will be back to normal by Fri. Aug. 22 at the latest. Apologies for any inconvenience! Meanwhile, we're recovering from a blackout in Toronto. I got stranded north of the city, and we just got hot water back this morning (and our elevators are working again, yay! Being on the 24th floor, this is a very good thing). I'll post more Inkygirl items when I can, but we've been warned about potential rolling blackouts this week while the power grid returns to normal. Thanks for your patience.
