I'm way way behind on writing, because I've been battling a summer cold that turned into the flu, then went backto a cold that just refused to go away. I was sick for nearly two weeks, and for me, that's almost unheard of.

Damn old age. When i was younger, I could count the number of times I got sick on one hand. Then I hit 40, and it's like the warranty on my immune system expired.

I'm only on about page 6, because I really really don't like to write when I'm not feeling well. I get cranky, and if I even do a good enough job not to delete the whole thing, I'd probably kill off every major character in a bout of pique.

I'm feeling better now, so I'm back at it. I don't know when I'll be done, as this chapter will be rather intricate on top of everything, but at least I'm working on it again. ;)

Don't beat yourself up, man. Get yourself well, get back on your feet, and do what needs doing. When you are ready, write more.


Until then, we'll all take lessons from our dear friends and NOT ask "is " "it " "done " "yet " "?" because we definitely don't want anyone getting snippy at us.

:)

Seriously, get well soon.

Hey Fel,

I know the feelings when you get pass 40. I had start to load up on "clean and healthy" food and limit on the sinful food to once a week unless I am ready to be a warrior who exercise everyday. But alas I hit the machines like once a month. All the flu takes longer to heal and get well. Doc says plenty of rest. My bet is still potter around without being stressful and stressing your muscles but still do light work. :) My recipe to good health.

Get well soon.

Personally I blame it on all the hot days we've had... Live in air conditioning but then you have to run to the car or get out of the car to go into work or the store or what not and zap! Sooner or later your going to get a cold!

We'll look at it this way, you're enough on the mend that you could let us know what was up. Take care of yourself, OK?

40, eh? I look back on 40, and wish I were doing so well. Young whippersnappers, hmph! Youth is wasted on the young!

Wonderful news. As well as getting a chance to read more of your writing, I'll feel slightly less guilty about being out on this 'working' cruise, because I still won't be able to post anything this week. I'll be home by the weekend though and should be able to post on one story or the other by sometime next week, I promise.
