Contagion
The title of this post sounds like a blockbuster tale, but I assure you that what I have to say is nothing so monumental. It's just that I've had to learn that I can't always "work through" a cold or other bug and this week has been one of those weeks. I haven't had the official flu for the season and I haven't had the stomach virus they've been talking about in graphic detail on the news all week. I've just caight something that settled in the upper respiratory passages and throat and made me cough so much that I've got sore ribs and go-along asthma symptoms. Even an extra dose or two of caffeine hasn't brought work into total focus. What does this have to do with writing, you might ask? Well, let's just say I've gained an excellent way to describe the supposedly subtle beginnings of a fictional plague, should the need ever arise.
Have a good weekend, fellow writers. I hope you all stay virus-free.
