thats cool jane

glad you dont have the Meng, jules!!!!

this morning I woke up with a low grade fever but that went away within a couple of hours. Havent had any loose bowels today but still have felt nauseous all day. UGGGHHH!!!

Popeye's chicken tonight! Hope the boy likes dark meat cause I don't. What he doesn't eat I'll give away to a friend of mine

Hopefully you'll be fine by the end of the day Michele! Sometimes with the shits, you have problems 1-2 days, but it also takes few days before the "system" works normally.



I got few books from the library last weekend. One is about people living in the 17th century (which is very insightful) and also a book about war history. The latter does not seem to be exactly what I was going for. I was hoping for battle formations and such but its very thin on how the battles were planned and executed so I have to rely on google till I get my ass back in the library. This is all for book 2 of course, have to do bit of research. Like with the previous.

Morning!

Anne do you feel pressure writing book 2, with your first one getting such great feedback? Or are you just enjoying writing again?

I suppose I'd better get myself to work, team meeting this morning - we'll bring up the same old issues and nothing will be resolved!

anne, i could ask someone i know about battles and fighting, it'll be stuff from the 1400's and 1500's though. they might be able to recommend some good sites

One of these days I'm going to catch up at work!! They owe me over 11 hours now and I don't see when I'm going to be able to take them. Another long day tomorrow!

I just bought my first "ebook" yesterday, from iBooks, I had got in touch with the author on facebook telling him I would not bow to eReaders but he explained with independents authors like himself without a book deal it was the only way to go, its called The Swarm by Rob Heinze and it sounds really good

i think i saw that on facebook, is he being labeled the next stephen king?

he might have, but I can't say that, the premise is that almost an entire town all of sudden go into this kind of trance and have a mass orgy, then all the women are pregnant from the orgy and strange things begin to happen, abnormalities with the pregnancies, some women decide to get abortions while others don't because its against their beliefs...just a very very interesting sounding horror story

sounds kind of the stand meets children of the corn (i think, christopher reeves as a doctor, people pass out several women are preggers n the kids all have white hair)

that's The Village! And the Christopher Reeves version was a remake!

That sounds like a cool book Jesse. Lemme know how it goes.

FINALLY! I ate and held down a full meal(not half like yesterday) since saturday. I had fish (my retardo and his Lent thing) and fries. I ate one fish s and a few fries and it stayed down. Now Im sleepy. Too early to sleep or ill be up at 3am.

I hope I have room for pie in a while.

Rick was getting so mad at me for not eating and when I went to the doc. the 2nd time he told them I wasnt eating. I said I couldnt, it hurt my tummy. The doc. said "I dont care if she eats, she needs to keep down her fluids" lol on him.
Between him and my mom these last few days, I havent gotten much rest. They checked up on me like every 15 mins to see if I was dead or something. I WANTED TO SLEEP!


BTW how can you not like dark meat? so juicey!

dark meat is slimy! like black dick!

black dick is not slimy!!!

I'll take Micheles word for it

Well actually ebook is not very strong in Finland, people don't really believe in it. Book people seem more old fashioned than your ordinary gizmo-crazy Finns. So that means I have gotten very little attention and there hasn't been many reviews either.

When the paper comes out on fall, I will get more attention and by then I have already, hopefully, written much of the second book so basically I am writing stressfree. I have a friend who published few months earlier and she is basically puking because she thinks her second book is just garbage (she is editing it right now). She got great reviews from her first so she is all messed up! Maybe I am lucky to get a slow start.

I don't really need inspiration for writing, I just need the will to shut down all those things that tempt me, like say, Internet

That would be great! It doesn't matter if its earlier because its vampires fighting and they borrow and mix different techniques. In Blood brothers there was much taken from the Romans because they basically invented the battle formations. However in this book, the groups are much smaller and the old batterns won't work as such.

staying in, today. feeling crappola.

Been watching te news. ooooh. did you guys her about the ski-accident of the dutch prince?

Queen Beatrix's son has been in hospital for a week after a skiing accident. The official channels say nothing other than; he's stable but, still in critical condition. They artificially cooled his body down and are slowly heating it up and see if he wakes up.

Royals don't normally interest me (other than the schandals and their fashion sense)but the Dutch Royals are SO normal. When so many people got hurt and died due to an attack on the queen 2 yrs.ago; she and her family visited the victims and their relatives-not for coffee and tea. They stayed over. helped with all the mundane stuff like, doing groceries,doing the school-runs, clean their houses. I hope Auntie B won't have to bury a son.

you can't top the English royal family!!

LOL.Screw the windsors!boooo! I'm glad the Dutch royals are nothing like the British royals. those people live in a bubble! Your Queen is socially inept. She shakes your hand, nods and says "How do you do" and that's it.

Oh btw. the prince in question lives and works in London,dontchaknow. He's the dutch equivalent of your Prince Edward. everybody thought he was gay. Married to a woman whose ex boyfriend was a druglord! oooooh juicy!. The prince married her without "official approval" which means that he's not in line for the throne.but him and his wife are still members of the "Royal Family".

the queen is above such things! and I've seen documentaries where she does a shitload more than that!
