Ugh...sick.
Jun. 8th, 2009 05:05 pmI've got a dry, scratchy throat and general malaise. Didn't do a damn thing this morning but lay around in bed with the humidifier running--which seemed to help--and gargle/drink Throat Coat Tea, which also helped. Plus take advil.
Had lunch, then buckled down and wrote for a couple, three hours. Did pretty well, too, so I don't feel bad about lazing about this morning.
I'm still reading through Story by Robert McKee. I'm also working my way through a couple of books from the library about the westward expansion in the 1800s as research for my zombie western story idea, and possibly another story as well. (Why waste perfectly good research by only writing one story when I can write more, even if one may turn out to be a romance? If the money is good, I'm willing to write pretty much any genre I can.)
