Sick of being sick...

I've had a shocker health-wise in 2009. My body has been playing all sorts of tricks on me, and it aint funny. As I type this blog post I have a blurry eye so don't be surprised if I start repeating myself because I can't see properly. Don't be surprised if I start repeating myself because I can't see properly. Huh?

I've really struggled to get my foggy, tired, stressed, aching brain to focus on editing my manuscript, but I can't think straight. I LOVE editing, so to be unable to do it frustrates me. My back hates me right now, but I'm seeing a wonderful chiropracter who is bending me into all sorts of weird positions and cracking the bejeebers out of me. I feel great temporarily, and then the aches start again. Argh.

Anyway, back to the writing stuff, got some news regarding changes to the pitch sessions at our Brisbane conference. It looks like I won't be doing a direct pitch after all, but the good thing is I'll be able to relaaaax in Brisbane. That's not to say I'll be rocking up in shorts, plastic sandals and a Mexican hat, rather I don't have the added pressure of pitching.

I promise I'll start blogging with some sense and order soon. Well, I shouldn't promised, but I'll TRY and get myself sorted out.

Hi Monique,
I do hope you feel better soon... I also have been struggling with health problems. Hopefully all gone now, except my left eye is a little blurry. lol... strange??

Spooky. Must be a weird new affliction for romance writers! Lol. And it's my left eye as well... can you hear the 'Twilight Zone' music?!

Get better soon, Suz :-) We need to be 100% for Brissie so we can rock on!!

Ugh with 2009, hopefully means 2010 will be bigger, brighter and healthier.

And I'm with you Mon. Editing rocks! It's hard to resist the urge to edit while writing. My fingers twitch, brain flies off on tangents and I have to have a stern talking to myself to stay on track writing.

Ta, AJ! I know you'll pick me up when I'm down and I'll do the same for you :-)

I can't wait to get some serious editing time to get my ms sorted. It's crying out for me, big time.

I hope you soon feel better, Mon. I always feel better when I hop over here and cop an eyefull of HJ!!!

Oh hugs Mon. I so know what you mean by sick of being sick. Just take each moment as it comes. You will get to your editing soon enough. Take care of you first. And in the meantime, check out a bit of Hugh action! ;)

Monique Wood said...

Hey, Eleni, I've lost my voice so it's quite peaceful in my house right now!

And I'm due for a bit of Hugh on my blog, aren't I?! Hmm, let me see if I can rectify this terrible oversight of mine...
