Sick or Writer's Block

Happy Valentine to my friends.

I have been trying to post for almost two weeks, but couldn't get myself to write a single line on this blog. Nothing I felt passionate enough to talk about.

So how did I spent my two weeks? I was sick for four days during the first week and four days during the second. I'm still not feeling good. But I tried to use my time in a productive way and edited two manuscripts. I hope to be ready to submit them soon.

I also started a new story and wrote one chapter. Yesterday I was so sick I couldn't sit at my computer, I read a book. It was a wonderful HQ medical romance by Lynne Marshall called the Christmas Baby Bump. I read it in one sitting. Great pace, amazing voice full of emotion with characters that leap out of the pages.

Today we had a booksigning but I was too tired to dare and drive for an hour to the Boca Library. My husband volunteered to take me and waited for me. How about that for a Valentine gift? Isn't that better than flowers or a box of chocolate?

The booksigning was organized by Rose Lawson for the Florida Romance Writers (FRW).

I read that beautiful thought two days ago:

Remember the past with gratitude

Face the present with enthusiasm

Dream of the future with faith

So what do you do when you are sick or tired or simply can't get yourself to do a thing?

If you like to travel and love to read, come and enjoy my international romances. I will take you around the world through stories that simmer with emotion and sizzle with heat.
