Empathetic hugs on the edit cave – I did get to leave it for a few weeks but it is looming again. I’m trying to embrace the inner editor without getting more anal than I already am. LOL

The sinus infection is ugly, haven’t had one before it must have been my turn . . . if it’s not better by monday I’ll break down and call for an appointment.

My head hurt all the time and I had to get antibiotics to fix it. I hope you feel better soon!<br/><br/>You know, it's actually harder than I thought it would be to give an editor a story she asks for. She asked me for a story with the same premise as the last one I sent, but a different plot--but every time I think of that premise, I think of the book I already wrote, and it's really hard to move away from those characters when I'm trying to work with the same idea.<br/><br/>And while I'm here, I'll just say hi to both of you. I've been in the cave trying to finish the draft of Hot Ghost Man. LOL Yuck, I had a sinus infection once, and I remember it as the week-long migraine.

Someday I hope to buy it! <br/><br/>It's good to hear that life is saner too - I don't know how you managed the fast book turn and work and kept your sanity.

In the meantime, I'm reading and plotting a ghost story I don't know what I'll do with. It's not targeted anywhere--one of those story ideas I love and I don't want to wreck it by having to worry about what box it fits in. So I'm just going to play and see what I end up with when it's done.<br/><br/>That's about it. Things are finally slowing down which is nice. My life has been in turmoil for almost a year so it's good to feel grounded once again. I submitted a synopsis for a Blaze and am waiting to hear back.

Haven't started on a new project more likely are revisions - possibly another short . . . love the almost instant gratification. <br/><br/>How about you, what are you working on?

Sinus infections aren't fun, that's for sure. And if the weather's as windy and crappy up there as it is down here, the gardening can wait.<br/><br/>Congrats on having all three projects done. I sort of like being at the "clean slate" stage. And I think the idea of writing the story that speaks to you is a good one. It has always been my motto. Sorry you’re under the weather.
