That's Dedication! (Or is it Stupidity?)

Sunday morning. 4 a.m. My stupid STUPID cold (yes, I'm SICK again - I think I am now dealing with the virus that my daughter had) woke me up. I couldn't get back to sleep.

So what do I do?

Turn up the heat, shuffle downstairs, and plop in front of the computer again to take one last look at my novel.

For two hours.

I had a few things I wanted to add, then I went back to bed a little after 6 a.m.

But you know what? The novel is done. The synopsis is done.

And my brain is done, too!

  2. You know, though, if you have to be ill, isn't it better after you finish your work than before?

    Congrats on getting done!

  3. Actually, I think I was better before I finished! I think I had something to focus on other than the snot fogging my brain, y'know? LOL

  5. That is awesome that your novel is done! (I'm green with envy!) And it's ok that your brain is done... well, at least for a little bit. You deserve the break.

    Yay! Not on being sick though. I have to cold from hell too. I'm on the third day and woke up this morning feeling the worst yet. And I'm supposed to be working. I have 80 something pages to write by the end of this month. (And no I'm not one of those Nano nuts lol)

    Hope you get to feeling better soon!
