Recovering From the Flu

 

If you read my last post, then you know I was getting all productive with things at long last. I’d even committed to doing a weekly blog post. Everything was great. I was excited. I was making progress daily. I . . .

I came down with the flu.

Yeah, so obviously no big blog post last week as I was on the couch too tired to do anything except sleep. I was also on target to get a new story out last week. None of that happened.

The flu bug totally took me down.

I am finally feeling better and trying to get back into things. In my part of the world, we went through extreme cold temperatures the last several days, which did nothing to help with my sudden stop in productivity.

Right now I need to re-orient myself with where I was at on my up coming story and remind myself of what needs done yet. It’s just often a struggle to get back to work after being knocked down like I was. It has been some time since I contracted the flu this bad.

I should have this story out before the end of this month. This was not the schedule I was hoping for. It is depressing that every time I feel as though I have things figured out, at least in some small way, something comes along and derails me. I guess that is life and I should be used to it by now, but I’m not sure that is something one ever gets used to. Right now, I’m remaining optimistic that I’ll pull things back together, but it’s an uphill battle to do so.

I’m glad I’m getting better and stronger. Hopefully, in a few more days, I’ll be back at full steam again. I’ve got some brain fog going on from it, but that too seems to be improving.

The weather has improved slightly and once my lingering cough is gone, hopefully I will be healthy again. Sometimes it’s just hard to get back into things when something like this happens.

So there you have it, a quick update on what happened and why there was no blog post last week, or the story I’d planned to release last week. As of now, I still plan on blogging weekly, and I hope to get this story out before the end of January.

New Release - Guard My Body

Another new release! I'd hoped to have this one out by the end of June, but it just didn't work out that way. Hot weather set in, which always makes me a bit lethargic. Then there was a holiday. While I didn't have big plans for the Fourth of July this year, I took it a little easy and enjoyed the holiday. With that said, I present to you: Guard My Body - A Short Bodyguard Romance I had a lot of fun writing this one. I can only hope you have just as much fun reading it. Enjoy!   A dive bar, a broken elevator, and a man hotter than any fantasy. What could go wrong? Madison Being a writer is not at all what I thought it would be. Writing about crappy restaurants and dumpy hotels is not the life I imagined. Then again, I get stuck in a hotel elevator with a man hotter than sin. Who turns out to be interested in me. Except, it is just my luck to lose him as quickly as I found him. Will I ever see him again? Considering my bad luck, I doubt it. Jackson One unpleasant job ...

Blogs - Why I Love Them and Why I Want to Do More

  I like blogs. I read several almost daily. Most of the ones I read are by authors, but I read other kinds of blogs as well. Some blogs have helped me. For example, when I decided knitting a pair of socks was a great idea, I found a blog to help me figure out the stitches for the heel of the sock. Or when I decided to dual boot my laptop with Linux, while retaining Windows. Although, I'm not sure why, I've never really logged into my Windows partition. Oh well. The point is the info on a blog was there to help me. As some of you know I'm not big on social media. I've never understood Facebook and honestly, I'm not sure I ever will. To some extent I do, but mostly I don't. I feel like everybody is shouting, "Hey, look at me, and here's my views on this and that, today I'm upset at this other thing, and oh by the way this is what I had for breakfast with photos." I can live my life without that madness. Once upon a time, I did try to be active o...

New Release - Beach Fling with the Biker

 Another new release is here! Beach Fling with the Biker is live! The last thing I needed was the temptation of a hot biker who takes my mind off everything but him. . . Alexa A week alone on the beach. That’s all I wanted. A week to figure out how to escape my father’s accounting firm that he expects me to take over one day. Except, a reservation screw up ends my alone time. Now, I’m sharing it with a god of a man who rode in on a bike. I’m supposed to be figuring my life out, not obsessing over a hot biker I won’t ever see again when the week is over. Would I risk my father’s wrath for a man I barely know? Or could this biker be the life path I’ve been searching for? Damon All I wanted was a week alone on the beach. One last time to live wild and free before I take on responsibilities my family is pressuring me into. Only a reservation screw up has me staying with a woman who wears loud shirts and tempts me like no other. By the end of the week, I’ll have to make a choice. Do I r...
