What's A Sick Day?

I’m home today. I caught a stomach bug from my kids. I just checked the mailbox – no news on any of my submissions but most of the e-submissions will come to my email at work. I did get a letter from a girl I sponsor through the Christians Childrens Fund. I really need to write her a letter. Her mother has such kind words.

I am managing one of the best writing days I’ve had in a long time. I’ve finished a first draft of my Civil War short story – 3,998 words. I emailed to my cyber-friend for his opinion. I’ll do a re-write based on his recommendations and send it off to Appalachian Heritage Literary Magazine. I might send it to Glimmertrain too.

Yesterday I wrote a poem, Sanctuary, so I’m on track with my goals for this week. I typed Chapter 13 last night and this morning. I’ll need to go back over it this afternoon. I’m up to 50k on my novel.

I’m interested in finding a CD by Sheila Chandra. I heard a song by her on the Landscapes music channel and I just loved it. I researched her on the internet. It looks like she’s big in Europe. I’m going CD shopping before I pick up the kids. Hopefully my search will be a success.

I’ll spend the rest of the day re-writing Chapter 13 and cleaning out my writing bag. It’s getting really heavy.

Goodbye for now. . . .
