What Do You Listen To When You Write?

Sunday, November 8, 2009

Scribe's Been Sick--sorry about the delay! :-D

I've had the stomach flu and then on top of it, allergies that have been making me dizzy and congested.  They are each, the opposite of fun.

Look for the contest for The Restorer to officially start on  November 10, 2009 (why Tuesday and not Monday? Well because NEW RELEASES always hit store shelves on Tuesdays and part of this contest is going to be about doing things OUT OF ORDER  like starting a contest for a book going out of print on a day when traditionally books are introduced to the public) and be prepared for some unusual and hopefully fun assignments!

Sneezing Scribe--AAAAhhhhCHHHoooo

I know how you feel . . I've been sick too. You have my sympathy.
For me the worst thing is the nights. The fever gives me some pretty creepy dreams . . while I'm awake.

I am sorry that you feel ill, Scribe! Praying that you will recover soon.
