Well...at least there is trying going on. Better than sneakily playing Solitaire.

The dilemma: do I want to cause my main character mental anguish today, or tomorrow? Hmmmm.

A world of pure imagination...
Tell me about it. For me basically the only thing that even sort of works is trying to remember the dreams I've enjoyed the most (and figure out where they're going). It's weird, but it works.

I am actually incapable of speaking, my throat is so swollen. I can manage a whisper-croak if I try really hard. And-- oh, hey, thank you for starting to work, 3 lozenges of Strepsils! Now I can breathe. Oh, no, wait, coughing is in the way.

Sorry for ranting. I'm just very upset.

But maybe I'll manage some productivity! I was also this sick when I wrote TRL and MAAH's first drafts.

Afternoon all. Rereading what I wrote last night. I've been working on the protagonist's introduction to her new school, and this seems to require lots of loving description, which is not my strength.

Sorry you're sick, Tally. Being in pain is no fun.

The only thing that works for me is to close my eyes and try to focus on the images I see, instead of thinking about a bazillion other things.

ETA: I have a constantly sore throat, it never heals... just gets a bit better. It's pretty mild now, but I can't run around outside or I'll start coughing.

I've never written when I've been sick as that, Tally.

ETA: Imma go get some food ready in a minute.

Tally, don't try and whisper - it'll just make it worse. Whispering and shouting are the worst things you can do for your voice. I'm sorry you're so sick. :(

Hi, Ky. :)

ETA: Does anyone know about iPod battery life? Like how it would be affected after a year and a half?

Twenty minutes - half an hour of writing, then TV and writing in the breaks. Here's hoping Ministry of Magic will help (yesterday was the start of a current obsession with their album Magic is Might, especially the songs, The Hero Pt2, Lily and Don't Leave).
