Yes, I am shamed to say it - the last 3 days have been my own personal hell and Sven is kicking my ass big time. The weekend - I didn’t get any time before the computer, the little ones are sick and on sunday we had guests over. Then today - i was hoping for some time before the computer and I come down with a major bug that I’ve been battling for heaven knows how long — and to make it worse - hubby is going to be gone for a week - it’ll just be me, the kids and the bug from hell!
I am not a shamed to admit that I am the biggest sulk when it comes to being sick. I can’t handle it very well, and I would rather curl up in bed and die in peace, but it’s kinda hard when you have a toddler going ‘mum, mum, mum’ and a crying infant. *sigh* But those are the breaks when you have children.
So to make up for all this lapse I might have to up my wordcount or take these 3 days out of my 23days of rest…. I will beat you Sven I will *waving fist in air* I am up to the challenge *dancing to Eye of the Tiger*

Nope, I don’t mean the writing bug. I mean a stomach bug. They aren’t fun at all. While trying to manage my two girls, one of which wanted to jump all over me. (yey…NOT) I tried not to turn green. Green is soo not my color. Besides, chucking is only reserved for my 3 month old at the moment. So to give you an idea how bad it is, I’ll use hubby as reference. I have never known DH not to skip work, he is a work horse. He can be pale as a ghost, hacking and looking like death warmed over, and he’ll go to work!! I seriously wouldn’t, but then that’s him — he likes to share the love. If he is feeling under the weather he’ll happily take down the rest of the office with him. Although he doesn’t see it that way. Okay, okay, I’m getting to my point: He took the day off today he was so sick. OMG!! Who are you and what have you done with my husband??
So we were both sick and feeling under the weather, but thankfully Mia was at daycare today and all I had to deal with was Imogen. Thankfully, this has been a 48hr bug, so I can eat some food! Yey me.
So what happened to my writing bug? It was under the weather too. On a good note I managed 2415 words in 2 days.
Well, not you, but your muse? Ready to put your muse through the gauntlet of mental boundries and push it until it collapses? Nano not your thing? Well maybe you’ll consider 70daysofsweat. It runs from the 15-Oct to the 15-Jan with 23days of relaxation, chores or downright craziness(aka family). It’s a program developed by several known romance authors and offers a realistic goal for us mere mortals. :-) And if you need more inspiration check out their personal trainer Sven.
I’ve signed my life awayup and have high hopes of getting some much needed direction and MSs off my computer.
My goals are to finish ADW(A Dark Warrior) and work also on my new MS for Shomi (as yet untitled) Now, that being said. I hate starting Mss that are untitled, it’s like a stall button so I gave it a name that just doesn’t work, so hence it’s called shomi1. O-original.
So, between my 3yo, my 3month old and my hubby, 2 dog, housework, webwork, and general emails and going crazy, I’ll be doing this. Yey! I look forward to seeing some faces when I pop around to check out who is doing this with me (I mean the 70daysofsweat not the going crazy… or perhaps we’ll be doing both).
