being ill
I'm really sorry for not writing sooner. Unfortunately I've come down with Labyrinthitis, which has meant I've been very dizzy, nauseas and tired for the last two weeks. As of yet I still don't know when or if I'll recover. Which has meant I haven't been able to write because being on the computer makes me feel worse. I have tablets now to help stop the symptoms but unfortunately they can't miraculously make me better. That means that I have to change the way I write. I used to just sit down every afternoon and write as much as I could until every thing was drained out of me. Now I can only sit at the computer for an hour or two and even during that time I am usually feeling quite ill.
Luckily, I completed the first draft of "Olimpia Valley" Book 1 before I got sick. I do need to run through it one more time to really tighten up the story and make it just perfect. I'll work on that as I go along. When it is to my complete satisfaction I'll make the decision about whether or not I'll self-publish it.
But, for now I am working on Volume V of "Soul Mates". I can't believe I'm on Volume V already! I started working on it properly today (having already written the synopsis a few weeks ago). Because I can only work for a short time I have only been able to write the prologue (1,800 words) today but that's a great start. And I am very pleased that I am even able to write that, as last week I was sure I'd be unable to get any work done at all.
So this will obviously slow down my writing speed now. There is still a big chance I'll recover completely but it could take days, weeks, months, even years, and because there's no definite end I've decided to take matters into my own hands and get back to work, even if it is only for a couple of hours a day.
