Both of you have my sympathy. Stick to the basics and don&#39;t beat yourself up too much if the writing has to take a back seat. Your family needs you at the moment. Later, when you are through this rough patch it&#39;s all going to make great material.suzannefrancishttp://suzannefrancis.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042906897152963913.post-72538614678290777462009-07-08T13:35:28.059-07:002009-07-08T13:35:28.059-07:00Wow, that was some fall. Sorry to hear that. The only advice I can give is to continue writing even if you are not writing your book. Whatever comes to mind as long as you do a little each day, if you can. Any kind of writing can only hone your skills. I was disabled for one full year one time and I did much journal writing to vent frustrations, learn of myself, etc. and it was both therapeutic and skill building. Keep on trucking on and don&#39;t get yourself down! <br /><br />My best to the both of you....rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18248554235709475320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042906897152963913.post-79440797379489774812009-07-07T09:23:14.480-07:002009-07-07T09:23:14.480-07:00Oh, man. I&#39;m so sorry about your wife. I hope she gets better fast and I hope the bills aren&#39;t over the top. <br /><br />Some of my darkest writing came from times when things were so down for me. And there were times when I had to take a year off from writing as well. But I&#39;ve always come back to it. I hope everything will straighten out for your soon.B.J.

She&#39;s a big fan of vampire romances (Kenyon, MacAllister, Meyers, etc). <br /><br />Maybe I&#39;ll turn Brenda into a Vamp and convert the scenes in space into a vampire bloodbath.<br /><br />Then when Dawn and John finally meet, she has to decide whether to accept help from his vampire crew, and whether or not to lose herself to his Vampy seduction.<br />I could totally turn DR into a thriller, but I&#39;d rather be hospitalized with a stomach ache again than write that kind of dreck. :)Iapetus999http://www.blogger.com/profile/09215333688753781447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042906897152963913.post-42787613361436938722009-07-07T01:48:16.622-07:002009-07-07T01:48:16.622-07:00There will always be something to get between you and writing. That&#39;s what makes it hard.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your wife, my sympathies to her. <br /><br />I&#39;m not one to put a positive spin on things, so I&#39;ll just say; keep fighting. Don&#39;t let it get you down.<br /><br />Drown yourself in writing. Get your wife involved while she&#39;s down for the count. Who knows, you could be the next big writing team :)Merrileehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10255083486196598825noreply@blogger.com
