Home Sick
I made it through finals week only to come for two weeks and end up on the couch feeling poorly. At least L and I had an enjoyable time on Whidbey at the fort picnicking and flying kites before the sore throat and fever caught up with me. However, enforced rest means more sleep, books, soccer games, and working on the exchange fic, so it isn't too horrible a position.
The exchange fic is giving me some problems. I think the plot is fine, but third-person POV is proving difficult. While I usually prefer to write in first-person POV, this story is much better served in third-person. I can't tell if the two pages I wrote before the fever set in are boring because I'm not used to 3rd-person, was tired and feverish while reading over it and shouldn't be trusted to make unbiased judgements, or if I just don't know how to use exciting language in 3rd pov. Any suggestions?
I think I need to go lie down again... stupid sickness!
