Snap. Crackle. Pop.
Posted in back pain, joints, random
Leave a comment
My left knee has started to crack when I go up and down stairs. It’s very annoying. Typical of my body, maybe, but it’s a new thing, and I dislike it intensely. Not that I haven’t always had popping joints. When I was two I dropped a massive glass piggy bank (full) on my left front toe. Pretty sure I broke it – and it’s cracked ever since. My right knee has been a nightmare since I hyper-extended it in high school. My knuckles. My wrist. My spine? *laughs* It’s like a symphony of sound every time I move, from my shoulders to my tail bone. I actually have one of those giant styrofoam tubes at home. I just arch my lower back over it and roll and pretty much everything pops. Kinda nasty, really. But there’s something about that release of pressure which is very nice, even if it doesn’t last.

All Good Things in Time
Last year, while chatting with a potential publisher, the editor had asked me about my writing history – how long I’d been writing, my goals, etc. And of course, I remarked that BoD was really the first thing I’d ever written with the intent of publication (not counting the children’s book I’d written in high school…which, of course, didn’t get pubbed.) I talked about how I’d written in high school, but had been rather discouraged in college and had pretty much stopped all together until a few years ago when I started doing the PbP gaming thing. The editor noted that this was a shame. After all, just imagine where I’d be if I’d been writing all this time. And I suppose that’s one way of looking at it. I certainly would have perfected my craft a bit more. On the other hand, I’m not sure things would have turned out…

Full Circle

We headed down to Richmond for the day yesterday to do the usual Thanksgiving thing. (I’m actually rather thankful that I’m not hosting anything this year – I’m a really lousy cook and hosting things is usually way more stress than it’s worth for me.) At any rate, thinking back on where I was this time last year – I’d just had an off from Dorchester to buy my book and I had three agents who’d offered me representation. And I had no idea what I was going to do. It was a heady time. (And a very thankful one, honestly – such a crazy situation to be in, but also a very good one.) Since then, I’ve gained an agent, gained a three book deal with Pocket, gained an editor, rewrote my paranormal romance into an urban fantasy, lost an agent, gained a new agent, lost my editor and finished up the…
