Right now I am feeling pretty miserable. I have a bronchial, throat and sinus infection. Yuck. A three for one deal. I haven't had bronchitis in years. I really have been trying to fight this thing off for about a month now, and it has returned three times. This time I was smart enough to go get antibiotics. Now I was told I must rest for a week or so. I am counting time at the computer as rest! Well, I will get in bed soon, but have to be on here some of the time, LOL.
I'm excited today. I've not mentioned this before but I have been going to a local writers group for a couple of months. The last meeting there was a panel of leaders from local writers critique groups. I spoke with one of the leaders after the meeting and she invited me to submit a piece of my work to her. I wrote something up for her yesterday and emailed it to her. She emailed me back and said that she would read it to the group (The Christian Roundtable Group) today, and if they felt that they had room for another member, and felt that they should include me (and that I was a good fit), she would contact me. I am waiting to hear back. It is kind of daunting, as I have never been part of a critiquing process. But at the same time, it is very exciting. I can't wait for her email or call.
Gee, I already have three books I want to write! Non-fiction of course. Okay, so I am getting a little ahead of myself here.
Krissy :)

Hey girl, sorry I haven't been by in a while. How exciiting about the writer's group. If you have 3 books to write, you better get busy!!!! I'm so pleased for you. I'm also SO sorry you hit the sickness trifecta. I awoke with 104 degree fevers 2 days last week and couldn't breathe. I happened to have a refill of an antibiotic so, afraid I was getting pneumonia I got that refilled quickly. I'm doing better, but it's turned into a constant runny nose. I'll take that over what I had any day. Hope you get to feeling better quickly. Love ya, Barb
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better. im hoping they have room for you hun.
ReplyDeletePraying you soon feel well and are well!! Best to you towards the writing thing. - Barbara

I will be praying for you in the writing. I hope it all comes through for you. I also hope that you feel better. Its nice to know that I am not the only person that counts resting as sitting at the computer. (giggle). I am sure that the doctors would not call that resting though. Hugs. Tish G.
ReplyDeleteWTG, Krissy! I'd love to read what you've written. Sounds like a buddy career perhaps??? Ugh to the bronchitis and all the other crud. I seem to keep getting some type of infection even though I'm not smoking anymore. Take those meds and make sure you get lots of rest. Love you, Chris
ReplyDeleteI am just stopping by to say hi and see how you are doing and was so happy about the writing ambitions you mention here!! I've been working on a book all through 2007 and am still typing it. So happy for you. Hope you feel better too!
ReplyDeleteLisa
that is so exciting, Krissy! I do hope you get into that group, in the meantime, you take care of yourself. After a week,if you aren't feeling better, do go back to the doctor and remember to finish all your antibiotics
ReplyDeletebetty
Krissy~Perhaps God is just telling you, you need to slow down! Take care of yourself, My Friend. You and John are in prayers always. Hugs ~

Well, good luck as you wait for the call or e-mail. But I'm thinking you'll be sleeping/resting when it arrives ... you know, following doctor's orders!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon. I've been sick, thought I was getting better (again) and boom! This morning I feel like crap again. Enjoy your weekend and good luck with the witers critique group.
ReplyDeleteMissie
Good luck...

Roll on Spring - maybe then we'll be able to shake off our infections, aches and pains. I was getting much better after bone infection, just to go down with a cold and conjuctivitus last weekend. Par for the course. Will give you a ring, when you are feeling a bit better, then we can laugh at our woes and put the world to rights lol.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the writers group. If they don't accept you, it's because you're too good at it and they don't want the competition.
Keep laughing. Get better soon. Say hello to John.
Lots of love
Sylvia xx
Yay! I am going to write a book with you =)! You better get back in bed if you are reading this ;-) Feel better soon, honey. Love you! xox

Wow writing sounds wonderful...it is something I would love to do myself...but I'm afraid my racing mind would interupt. I'm so sorry your not feeling well...that really does suck...I know how annoying it can be. But you get your rest and do as your told so you can get better. All my love....June:)
ReplyDeleteKrissy,
ReplyDeleteHope that you will soon be feeling better. Finally after 3 weeks this dang cold is starting to subside.
I also am hopeful to find some help in writing as it has been one of those things but way back on the burner and now maybe with not working 17 hours a day I will have some time.
My desire is to write a screenplay from a book my hubby's aunt wrote years ago and also to do some writings about when Chas. was a police officer and also about finding my bio. family.
Blessings,
Lori
Get well soon, Krissy. Hope you can get on the critique group.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to feeling better soon and good luck with the group
ReplyDeletehugs

I hope you are feeling better by now. I've had something like that lately too. Congrats on having a piece of your worked look at. Good luck with that!
ReplyDeleteLori
Although sick (sorry to hear that news) sounds like a bit of an adventurous spirit is at play. I hope you do make it in hon. Sounds like it's right up your alley. (Hugs) Indigo
ReplyDeleteHi Krissy- I hope you feel better soon, but how cool for you to be involved in writing and now maybe critiquing! That would be great. God Bless! Carolyn
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I'll say a prayer for you about this. I'm sure God has an exciting play for your life and it could be in the writing field.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Kathy
K~Great idea! I am thinking of finding one too! Hope you feel better real soon. God Bles you & John~xox Deb ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you get into the group. They can work wonders for your writing and by doing critiques for other people, you discover a wealth of info about the craft. If that doesn't work out, you could also join an online writing network or your could do both! :)
ReplyDeleteBe sure to take lots of Vitamin D....flu and colds are up in wintertime because we are not exposed to sunshine, which the primary source of Vitamin D!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon! I love your blog!
