Write Every Day: Day #30

[auroracloud]

Finally getting better. I'm still prone to horrible fits of coughing, but my eyes and head are feeling close to normal and I've nearly stopped sneezing. It's also nice to have my sense of taste completely back; food tastes like food, tea no longer tastes like water (imagine, drinking tea and being unable to taste it!). I'm still awfully faint, though, which makes it a bit of a challenge to get things done. But getting better. Tomorrow I'm supposed to celebrate New Year's Eve with some of my friends, so I hope I'll be in the shape to go for at least a little bit.

I started reading one of the Lord Peter Wimsey books by Dorothy L. Sayers today, delightful stuff. I don't read much in the way of detective novels normally, but this is something else - should have tried them sooner.

Today's writing

Took me long enough because of the faintness, but I got something done! First I spent quite a while going through the stockings at Fandom Stocking and looking up things that I might write for; then I thought about what I might write while I lay on the bed being dizzy; then I actually wrote, and got over 700 words before I had to stop because brain wasn't working anymore. Let's hope it keeps up and I get the story finished!

Strong Poison is a great one to start! I love the dynamics between that pair to pieces; but I shouldn't tell more at this point to avoid possible spoilers for you. *g* My own favourites are Busman's Honeymoon and Gaudy Night.

Thank you for the wishes, and belated Happy New Year to you, too, if I didn't already said it elsewhere, I completely lost track. We had a great time with our friends, and on the 1st, the pinch-hit finally came along. It's not as good as I wanted it to be, but that sinusitis-fogged head really drained my mind and my creativity. But I got a decent story together, the recipient liked it, so all's well.

I'm sure I'll have lots of fun reading these books. I think my friend who pushed this book at me recommended this has also spoken of the volumes you mentioned. :-)

I'm glad you had a great time with your friends at New Year's, and that you got the pinch hit done. It's no wonder it might not be as good as you wanted it to be, with your illness having such a bad timing. You're fantastic for getting it done regardless! Hope you're feeling better now.
