Sigh. Sick again. The second time in as many weeks…or maybe it’s been three weeks…no. No, it was definitely the beginning of last week. That shit only lasted a day. This, I have the sinking feeling, is a bit more in for the long haul. It’s the fever that gives that away. Fever started this afternoon, hasn’t let up since.
But, it’s viral. There’s nothing I can do about it. Just have to wait it out. Let my body do its thing.
I didn’t do jack shit today. Sigh. I haaaaatteeeee being sick, you guys. Hate. It. I feel like I went…a really long time without getting sick, and here I am, twice in two weeks. I used to get sick around christmas time every year. Nothing too bad – the flu sometimes, mostly a cold…old habits die hard, I guess.
I read today, did some research on what the marketplace out there looks like for Science Fiction. At first blush, it seems to be Military Sci Fi for the win. That doesn’t interest me all that much, I’m afraid. I was never in the military. I can’t offer any sort of realism in that regard. BUT…one of my series ideas, the “Icaurs” one, is quite similar in that it’s centered around a highly structured organization. Close enough, hopefully, and different enough, hopefully. I think that’s my ticket for a first series. It’s either that or the period x-files meets indiana jones series. Or both. I could do both…I think.
Anyway, you guys, I’m going to close this entry early. I am really, really not feeling well. Wish me luck sleeping, I hope I feel better tomorrow, and merry christmas eve eve.
