just a quick updateEntry #671732

I owe lots of return emails and such, so in case anyone checks in here ... I'm still here, kind of.

4 weeks of tonsilitis/fever/exhaustion
1 trip to the ER from an antibiotic reaction
+ a chest cold setting in on the verge of recovery from above
= WAY far behind

I'm trying to work through it, finish editing for next month's release -- I hope I can still pull it off next month, creating the book trailer, revamping the cover, trying to find back cover review blurbs from "names" in the writing and music business (looking unlikely at this point), getting pre-publish reviews (also looking unlikely, *sigh*), lining up permission for my prologue lyrics (got that!), lining up interviews for promo for related fields as the story line...

In between was my son's first Homecoming dance, and the parade and the football game (actually felt good that night, down with the cold the next day). Tonight a band concert I'm hoping I won't cough through. No one is invited over right now since housework is kinda barely getting done just enough.

Anyway, I have managed to start a short story for the Writer's Digest contest deadline Dec 1. And I have a thought about my Nano novel, which I probably shouldn't even attempt next month. I will, anyway. Whether or not I think I can get to 50. And apparently, I get to have about 13 visitors overnight sometime in December. Hmm...

As Arnold would say, "I'll be back."
