Good, Terry!
After all, we all do have the rest of our life.
Yes, there is that which satisfies our artistic side, but that discrete portion that our agent says will prove marketable.
The movie, Smart People, with Dennis Quaid, had the professor's/author's brilliant novel, You Can't Read, edited- and, consequently, dumbed-down to make it accessible to Average Joe Reader. Lawrence (Quaid) came to terms with the travesty, admitting ruefully that the proceeds would pay Daughter's tuition at Stanford.
Go for it!

by compound complex inon my imac laptop i am typing away and suddenly my words appear on a different line, often within the text of an earlier sentence.

Thank you, dear friends, for practical advice as well as for technical direction.
As best as I can figure so far, it seems I was inadvertently hitting the touchpad. I do have a mouse plugged into a USB port. When I use the optional external keyboard, this doesn't happen because my hands are nowhere near the touchpad. I'm away so left the keyboard at home. Putting 2 and 2 together . . .
Will report back later. BTW, there was lots of info on "jumping cursor," but I had some difficulty figuring out the steps to remedy the problem.
Yes, it is called a "cursor" for obvious reasons! @*%!$&@(#_$!
Gratefully,

Thanks, rip!
I recently finished a Victoria Holt novel where "Plain Jane" has always been the apple of the lord of the manor's eye. She doesn't buy it -- at first . . . or second. . . .

I could not leave her behind, the plain-looking but noble heroine whose life had been enfolded in the torn, brittle pages of a book no longer useful to its owner. I found Tales of a Forgotten Love in the trash at work, tossed unceremoniously in with discarded, half-eaten lunches and all other detritus common to a typical work place.
Never one to commit the sacrilege of throwing away a book -- even a paperback -- I reached into the waste basket, pulled out the sad-looking little paperback, and wiped off the egg salad that had smeared itself about the torn cover. Double sacrilege: wasting good food and better literature.
The book's cover, now cleared of the disguise of egg and mayo, displayed the portrait of what appeared to be a lady of the 19th century. She was smiling faintly, as though she had something to say but had not yet found the proper words nor the moment for timely expression. She was not a female beautiful by today's superficial standards, yet some indefinable inner light illumined her face. I sensed it; it was not the artist's rendering that put me into that thought.
I opened the book, determined to discover what inner beauty lay within this woman whose outward appearance would capture little notice . . .

I really wish I knew a way to "artistically" translate my book into other languages for the foreign market!
Terry:
I have read novels that were translated from original languages into English, and that superbly so. Each language has its idiomatic peculiarities, which are not always so easily translatable; however, skilled translators are able to capture the feel of the original while staying close to the author's meaning.
Getting it launched in English is just the beginning! Those "artists" will appear and do your work proud.

The cover is eye-catching and -holding. Excellent!
Quite a number of years ago I proofread some of your historical fiction re: CTR. Is any of that original text part of TMoM?

PS: Reminds me of Clark Ashton Smith's chillingly macabre work.
